Data Placemats Inform about Health Disparities

DOH-Walton and the Walton Community Health Improvement Partnership are partnering to provide community data placemats for tables at the Caring and Sharing of South Walton’s Communities of Transformation program. The program is led by the SoWal Community Chaplain, a WCHIP member, with the mission of moving families from surviving to thriving by developing personal leadership skills and building authentic relationships. There are over 50 participants that meet weekly. The placemats assist participants in understanding the needs of the community by looking at health disparities and the social determinants of health.
