Title from cover.

"Developing and sustaining a healthy community requires participation from many diverse organizations and individuals who live, work and play in our community. The Southern Kenai Peninsula Communities Project came together in November of 2008 to create just such a partnership. We conducted the first collaborative, area-wide health needs assessment, with the goal of identifying opportunities for health improvement and to serve as a catalyst for community action. We defined health very broadly, to include not only physical, but mental/emotional, economic, educational, cultural and environmental health. The resulting report is the culmination of four assessments conducted using the "Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnership" (MAPP) framework to structure our process. SKP Communities Project involves partnerships with agencies, businesses and individuals across the entire Southern Kenai Peninsula, from Ninilchik to across the bay to participate in the project to prioritize public health issues and identify resources to address them. We define health broadly, to include emotional, mental, physical and environmental health, as well as quality of life issues. "--website.
