The Maryland Department of Health is launching an initiative, Building a Healthier Maryland, to revisit and set health priorities that will be captured in our State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP). We are doing this collaboratively with organizations and partners across Maryland. The launch of this initiative marks a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to the well-being of Maryland residents.
This initiative, Building a Healthier Maryland, starts by conducting a State Health Assessment (SHA). The assessment involves taking a broad and comprehensive look into Maryland’s health landscape, covering everything from health behaviors to the physical environment. The assessment allows us to collaboratively identify and prioritize key health concerns so that strategies can be put in place to address the health priorities.
