;A Community Approach to Better Health

Thank you for your interest in Together! Healthy Knox.

Together! Healthy Knox is about achieving a community in which every person who lives, works, attends school, worships or plays is a healthy person. With your help, this is an achievable goal.

Knox County Health Department is getting Together! Healthy Knox started, but, as the name implies, we cannot do it alone. No single entity or agency can make a community healthy – so much more can be accomplished by working together with a common goal. Together! Healthy Knox aims to use a strategic process to make our current resources work smarter.* 

Other communities have been very successful using this community approach to better health. Click here to read their stories. For more in-depth information, go to About Healthy Knox on this Web site or click on the NACCHO link below.


*Together! Healthy Knox uses Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP), a model developed by the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), for a planned approach to improve health and quality of life.
