Data from Neighborhood Health Partnerships can be an important tool to understand health outcomes and care in your neighborhood. However, it is just one stop on the journey of understanding and prioritizing what a neighborhood needs to get and stay healthy. NHP Action Tools can assist you in planning your full journey by helping you better understand NHP data and how to connect it with other available data, cultivate ideas for taking action, and build or enhance partnerships that you will need to make your efforts a success.
