Health ... 

The community indicators regarding health focus on access to health care, mental health and lifestyle factors that impact health, specifically tobacco use, alcohol use and weight.


 Why are health indicators important ?

  Access to health care is a growing issue as the number of people without health insurance
  coverage continues to increase in the area. Lifestyle indicators represent key factors that
  impact community health and healthcare costs within the region.
