Introduction
The
Coordinating Council is the Community Collaborative Body of Calhoun County for
the State of Michigan. All counties have an established collaborative body
addressing issues impacting the lives of children, families, and special
populations identified within their area.
Local
Community Collaboratives take responsibility for the direction and coordination
of state and federal sponsored collaborative enterprises. Additionally,
Community Collaboratives link with other collaborative groups to address
specific needs in the community. This is accomplished through the development
of community wide initiatives, avoiding duplication of services, maximizing
available resources, and implementing community plans designed to meet a
specific outcome.
Health
and Human service professionals in Calhoun County are committed to having a
positive impact in the lives of the citizens they serve. In order to assess the
level of impact programs and services have, professionals in Calhoun County
examine a variety of indicators. An indicator is an expression of information
reflecting the status of a larger system.
The
Calhoun County Report Card examines a variety of indicators designed to help
describe community conditions relative to children and families. As new
businesses look at our community and compare Calhoun County to other areas, many
of the indicators listed in the Community Report Card are considered. It
becomes critical to use these indicators to educate and inform local and state
planning efforts and public policy decisions.
