What We Do
Healthy Chesapeake convene’s public, private, and community partners to tackle preventable chronic disease, food insecurity, behavioral health needs, and barriers to care.
Why We Do It
Too many neighbors face preventable chronic disease, food insecurity, and barriers to care. By convening the Healthy Chesapeake coalition, we deliver programs and bring partners together to drive measurable improvements in health outcomes.
In a typical year:
- HUB participants cut their average A1C by ~20%
- Over 80,000 pounds of fresh, healthy food reaches local families
- Hundreds of Chesapeake residents learn healthy cooking skills
- Over 1000 meals per week support 170+ ForKids participants
- Collaborative capital projects bring care directly to underserved neighborhoods
Research and Evaluation
All programs supported by Healthy Chesapeake are evaluated by our Evaluation and Research team led by Dr. Michelle Kekeh with the Old Dominion University’s Center for Global Health. It is mandatory to provide data, comply with research gathering requests, and participate in evaluation sessions as determined by the research and evaluation team. Our intent is to ensure that we have an accurate impact analysis in place to maximize our effectiveness.
