Vision:The tri-county region will be recognized as a “high performance health and wellness community” characterized by steady and measurable improvement in the health and wellness of its citizens and their access to quality medical care.

Community Outcomes:
• All residents in the Trident Area will take personal responsibility for maintaining and improving their mental and physical well-being.

• All residents in the Trident Area will have access to continuing education and information about how to maintain and improve their mental and physical well-being and how to best utilize the health care system.

• All residents in the Trident Area will have a medical home and access to at least the minimum level of medical and preventive care needed to maintain reasonably good health.

Strategic Direction:
• Put United Way in a position of community leadership on issues of promoting health and wellness, not by undertaking all these tasks ourselves, but by serving as a catalyst to help other institutions such as schools, employers, churches and nonprofits integrate healthy living messages and activities into their own agendas, programs and policies.

• Choose measurable indicators of progress toward achieving each of the Health and Wellness Community Outcomes. Choose indicators based on baseline data available in the Tri County Health Indices Survey, SC Data Warehouse and TUW's Asset Mapping Tool. Focus on adding value to programs that have an effect on the chosen indicators.

• Use TUW's policy protocol to recommend appropriate levels of action around pending legislation that would further our Health and Wellness Community Outcomes.
