Our work is built on five health pillars that reflect the most pressing needs of Marion County: Dental health, diabetes and obesity, substance use and behavioral health, unintentional injuries, and prevention.

Prevention is the thread that runs through all of them. Because the most powerful healthcare is the kind that happens before a crisis, through screenings, education, early diagnostics, and community investment.
