Welcome! The Michigan Department of Community Health and its partner organizations have developed online assessments and websites to help promote and support better health for Michigan citizens – in communities, at work, at school and in places of worship. Below are brief descriptions of the assessments, as well as a map showing the communities and organizations that have participated.
Healthy Community Checklist : Communities can get a snapshot of their health environment by completing this online checklist.
Healthy Schools, Healthy Students : The Healthy Schools websites feature the Healthy School Action Tools (HSAT) , Healthy School Environment Recognition Program , Healthy Schools Success Story website, and Student Health Survey website.
Promoting Active Communities : Communities can see how well they support and promote physical activity and become eligible for the Governor's Council on Physical Fitness Active Community Award .
Promoting Healthy Eating : Communities can use the online Nutrition Environment Assessment Tool (NEAT) as the first step in improving their support of healthy eating.
Creating Smoke-Free Communities : Communities can use the Smoke-Free Communities Assessment Tool (SFCAT) to help increase smoke-free environments in ALL community venues.
Healthy Work Environments : Employers can use the Designing Healthy Environments at Work (DHEW) assessment to identify ways to create a healthier work environment.
