Our Community Assessment Processes

In 2007, Three Rivers District Health Department began implementation of the MAPP (Mobilizing Action through Planning and Partnerships) process. MAPP is a strategic planning tool developed by the National Association of City and County Health Officials (NACCHO) to identify and improve community goals.

As a part of the MAPP process, Three Rivers was the first Health Department in the state of Kentucky to complete the second version National Public Health Performance Standard Program (NPHPSP). The NPHPSP and several other community assessments were conducted to identify public health problems in Carroll, Gallatin, Owen and Pendleton Counties. After identifying problems, community partners in all four counties formed collaborative groups to solve the perceived and projected health and safety related short falls of the communities. While the groups are a collaborative effort of community partners in each county, Three Rivers acts as an organizing agency. The meetings are always open to the public. All opinions, concerns and ideas are welcomed and encouraged.
