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.
