Webinar: Planning for Community Health Through High-Impact Strategies

Most of what influences our health happens outside of a doctor’s office. The places where we live, work, learn, and play, and the conditions in those places, shape health and well-being far more than clinical care alone.

The Healthy Nonprofit Network partnered with the Emory Prevention Research Center to host a webinar, Planning for Community Health Through High-Impact Strategies, on practical, evidence-based approaches for strengthening communities and improving health for all.

What You'll Learn

  • Discuss non-medical factors that influence health
  • Define policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) changes
  • Locate authoritative resources for PSE change
  • Learn phases for making PSE change
  • Consider how to employ these approaches in your own communities and work

    • Watch for a recap and materials coming soon from the session presented on Monday, October 5, 2026.

    If you would like to get free individualized help for your community based organization, learn more about the type of support we offer, or submit a request to meet with the Healthy Nonprofit Network’s coaches.

    Training Recap, Assessing Community Health Needs, Part 1: Frameworks & Methods

    The Healthy Nonprofit Network recently hosted a two-part training series in collaboration with the Emory Prevention Research Center on Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNAs).

    Part 1 was a step-by-step “how-to” training, Assessing Community Health Needs: Frameworks & Methods, led by Dr. Cam Escoffery, Associate Director, Emory Prevention Research Center, Rollins School of Public Health.

    Participants learned how to identify community assets and priority health needs, access and interpret reliable local and regional health data, and apply practical assessment tools to support program planning, partnerships, and grant development.

    We’re pleased to share the training materials so you can explore these concepts and adapt them to your own community health assessment efforts.

    Tools for Conducting Community Health Needs Assessments

    Every community is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to gathering information and understanding local needs. The tools shared during this webinar offer a step by step process and frameworks to help organizations conduct thorough, community-informed assessments and identify priorities for action.
