Community Evaluation Benchmarks for a Healthy Local Economy

There is a clear link between healthy communities and economic opportunity. CHWV's Community Evaluation Tool's Benchmark help community leaders create both.

Communities that work to meet CHWV’s evaluation benchmarks improve community’s quality of life and reduce healthcare costs. 

City and county leaders across West Virginia are working to make their communities more attractive to people and businesses. The CHWV evaluation framework can help.
