  • Sayward, Sayward Valley and Kelsey Bay the Strathcona Community Health Network Is Pleased to Share These Community Health Profiles
    Social Determinants of Health Fact Sheet: Sayward, Sayward Valley and Kelsey Bay The Strathcona Community Health Network is pleased to share these community health profiles. We have developed a community health profile for each of the eight communities within our region. Community health profiles were developed for two purposes: 1) to support the ongoing work of the Strathcona Community Health Network, and 2) to build capacity within the Strathcona region. 1. The Strathcona Community Health Network (SCHN) has articulated our approach to work, which includes a commitment to being evidence-informed by balancing the best available data with local knowledge in collaborative decisions. These community health profiles, then, have created an opportunity to define and collect or generate local data to support decision making and future action by the SCHN. 2. Perhaps more importantly, the SCHN’s approach also involves community capacity building. Per our Strategic Plan, we “encourage a capacity building approach so the community is strengthened and partners grow and improve their knowledge, skills and infrastructure through engaging with the network.” Community health profiles can be used to build community capacity in many ways, including the following: • Use the information within to support planning and decision-making processes. • Utilize this report as evidence when applying for grant funding and/or providing evaluation information to funders. • Employ the information within when advocating for policy changes at all levels of government. • Connect with the individuals, organizations, and coalitions within your community that are working towards greater outcomes. If you’d like more information about these groups, please contact us. • Initiate conversations with your neighbours, family, friends, and colleagues about the information that stood out to you.
