The Community’s Vision (what is desired for our community)

The purpose of the health care system is to provide affordable & sustainable health care that supports optimal health & wellness for everyone in our community.

Our Mission (why Our Optimal Health exists)

To connect conversations, support collective actions, and advance learning to achieve the community’s vision.

Our Optimal Health Principles

• We believe that it makes sense to bring stakeholders together in conversation to co-create and co-learn when seeking new solutions for the common good.
• We respect and honor the perspective of everyone in our community.
• We create opportunities for all perspectives to be shared/heard.
• We trust the collective wisdom of our community.
• We continually evaluate what we learn and achieve.

Our Optimal Health Priorities
Our Optimal Health believes our collective community holds the answer(s) to shifting the health care system for our community and that we should work together and invest resources in:

• Increasing Connections: OOH will create the conditions necessary to connect people, organizations, ideas, technologies and possibilities around the community’s vision.
• Building Capacity for Innovation and Change: OOH will convene learning sessions to build new capacity in our community for solving complex, systemic problems.
• Supporting Emerging Community Change Projects: OOH will create a "living" learning lab in Franklin County by incubating ideas and innovative projects that can fundamentally shift the health care system.
