See Our Progress
Health First Indiana (HFI) is an investment in prevention that will lead to healthier communities. HFI initiatives cover several public health core service areas, such as maternal and child health, trauma and injury and lead exposure. Local health departments share information every June and December on several measures to show the momentum underway as HFI grows across the state.
These data provide vital information for local health departments to share ideas and establish partnerships for enhanced core public health service delivery. In addition, every member of the Indiana Hospital Association has taken a pledge to support HFI. Many Indiana businesses and organizations are also taking the pledge.
