Healthy Communities Partnership History
Bringing passionate people together to advance the health and well-being of Franklin County residents.
Healthy Communities Partnership of Greater Franklin County has been working for more than 18 years with a mission of advancing the health and well-being of Franklin County residents. HCP’s vision is to be a leading catalyst for health and well-being initiatives in Franklin County. The Partnership, under new leadership since 2008 began utilizing the six dimensions of wellness, as defined by Vanderbilt University, physical, emotional, psycho-social, spiritual, intellectual and environmental, in 2008.
These dimensions come together to guide programming for the partnership.
Our Objectives and Goals...
1) Bring together organizations with similar goals to form working partnerships,
facilitate relationships and create work teams to carry out activities.
