ICCC at the Community Level
Oelwein Blueprint for Health
The Iowa Chronic Care Consortium is engaged in an active model program to build a blueprint for improving community health in Oelwein, Iowa. ICCC's commitment to population health improvement requires experience in the construction of community based plans that can be replicated across a variety
of local communities. Planning work began during the past three months with surveys and assessments of interests, needs, problems and resources. A 15-member leadership group has been developed. Financial resources from the local community and other funders will be utilized. Oelwein is a model Iowa
community that has been dramatically affected by the meth problem. In fact, a non-fiction book of national prominence has been written about the community and its meth problems. ICCC likes to begin where others fear to tread.
Health Risk Assessments
ICCC has worked at the community level with Ankeny Health Futures (a Harkin Wellness Grant recipient), Oakridge Neighborhood Services, and community groups in Des Moines to deploy Health Risk Assessments to a range of populations - from youth to seniors. ICCC provides consultation to community
groups and others on the deployment of health risk assessments and the planning of health improvement activities for their populations. For more information on these services please contact ICCC through the contact numbers provided on this site.
