Public Health Indicator Area Leaders
The Community Indicators Project partners with Indicator Area Leaders to improve outcomes in its seven indicators. These organizations set improvement goals based on indicator data and lead individuals, businesses, and community groups to coordinate efforts and information, thus facilitating steady progress in quality-of-life improvement.
The Live Healthy Spartanburg is the Indicator Area Leader for the Public Health Indicator Area. Live Healthy Spartanburg represents merging two existing, longstanding local health collaboratives — The Road To Better Health and Spartanburg’s Way to Wellville — into one unified initiative designed to address the Spartanburg community’s health and well-being needs.
