Allegany County Health Planning Coalition
Allegany County Health Planning Coalition is the County’s Local Health Improvement Coalition (LHIC).
To appropriately improve the health and wellbeing of our county, we must learn from our population and seek to understand the diverse effects on our health. To enhance the lifelong health of all Allegany County residents, we engage with the two of the largest organizations impacting our community’s well-being: the Allegany County Health Department and our healthcare system, UPMC Western Maryland. This commitment is further strengthened with representatives from other organizations and members of the public, whose support and participation are greatly valued.
We actively seek diverse partnerships to effectively improve community health and well-being, understanding that health is multifaceted and influenced by wide-ranging factors.
