Health Indicators for High Point

Healthy High Point Foundation Health Report Card

A health and community scorecard provides performance benchmarks and improvement targets for a community so it can develops targeted programs to address health needs. This report card is compiled from local, state, and federal data sources to produce well defined measures of community health that align with the Intersectional Health Status Model (Gruber & Sills). These indicators are readily obtainable from existing public data, health system data, or are privately sourced, and are applicable to the specific needs of the Greater High Point area. Selection of indicators are based on existing evidence (published literature, state, regional, and county reports) of importance to community health.  Full documentation of the indicators may be found in the final report Foundation for a Healthy High Point – Health Report Card – Key Indicators Report.
