Are We Making a Difference? Four National Metrics Experts Share Tools to Support Cross Sector Collaboration

At our Network Commons live discussion on October 24, 2017, four leading measurement experts discussed how to measure neighborhood-level health and well-being.

There are numerous efforts across sectors to measure neighborhood-level health and well-being. This event features four national metrics experts spanning community development, public health and healthcare, who have each helped develop some of the most innovative tools for practitioners working to advance health equity. This includes SuccessMeasures; Healthy Neighborhood Equity Fund’s HealthScore; Enterprise Community Partners’ Opportunity360 Index; and 100 Million Healthier Lives’ Adult Well Being Index. All the tools mentioned during the event can be found on the Network’s MeasureUp and in the slide deck featured during the discussion.
