The Health Initiative was created out of a collaboration by Canton-Potsdam Hospital and Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center. Leaders from these institutions brought together over 200 individuals -- representing a broad spectrum of the community, including health, human service, business, government and educatino -- to conduct a thorough assessment of health in St. Lawrence County.
The steering committee identified three health priority areas that needed to be addressed county-wide: access to care, nutrition and physicial activity, and substance use, focusing on youth tobacco use.
