… because a group with a common goal can achieve so much more than an individual alone.

​

The Healthy Community Coalition (HCC) promotes and coordinates partnerships between local organizations and individuals with the goal of creating environments that are alcohol, tobacco, and drug-free. We focus on the following:

​

• Building links and strengthening relationships with those in the community who are working to accomplish common goals.
   

• Working to change the way communities view alcohol, tobacco, and drug misuse by being a resource for current information, and by providing evidence-based programs and education.
   

• Assisting communities with prevention planning and technical assistance to implement drug-free events and programming.
   

• Encouraging our youth to be substance-free and offering them opportunities to make a difference in their community.
   

• Impacting public policy by informing local, state, and federal lawmakers regarding the needs of county residents.
