Introducing the Allegany County Health Planning Coalition (ACHPC)

It has been said that, if you have your health, you have everything.  That is why the Allegany County Health Department and the Western Maryland Health System are pleased to announce the formation of the Allegany County Health Planning Coalition.  Through joint efforts with key community partners such as the Western Maryland Area Health Education Center, Tri-State Community Health Center, the Allegany County Board of Education, and County United Way, we are working to identify and address opportunities to improve the health of Allegany County residents.  Over the next several months, the ACHPC will seek input from the community as we focus on the most critical health concerns in our area and implement public health strategies which will enrich the lives of all Allegany Countians.  We encourage you to visit the Coalition web site for more information.
