Building Community
By breaking down barriers for all people to enjoy good health & experience physical, mental, and social well-being.
Welcome to Alliance for Healthy Communities
AHC convenes coalitions, collects evidence-based strategies, links services to local needs, and catalyzes community-wide change. Multi-agency collaboration and coordination are at the heart of what we do.
Formed over a decade ago, we are a group of community members working toward a common goal. We join skills and resources to address community needs and focus on local issues to produce change. These changes, which improve overall health and well-being in our rapidly growing county, bring hope and optimism for a better future, utilizing evidence-based and data-driven environmental strategies to improve sustainability and outcomes.
We aim to improve the relationship between individual members and organizations to reduce barriers, enhance access, and strengthen the community as a whole, thereby creating conditions for all people to enjoy good health and experience physical, mental, and social well-being.
STAND Above the Influence Store
Our Coalitions
Alliance for Healthy Communities was built from the successes of our two coalitions, STAND Above the Influence & Alliance for Substance Addiction Prevention, for sustainability, continued growth, and expansion.
Join Our Coalition!
The first step to helping your community is getting educated about substance misuse and mental health.
