Healthy Communities: A Framework to Achieve Inclusion of Persons with
Disabilities
Yochai Eisenberg, MUPP, will describe the importance of recognizing persons with disability as a demographic group that experiences health disparities and introduce an assessment and implementation framework to drive public health action. The Community Health Inclusion Index (CHII) is the first instrument to operationalize community health inclusion into a comprehensive assessment tool that can be used by public health professionals and community coalitions to examine the critical supports needed to improve healthy, active living among persons with disability. Mr. Eisenberg will highlight lessons learned from demonstration projects in Oregon (Benton and Umatilla Counties) and nationally that have utilized the CHII and best practices for successful implementation.
