Data snapshot
Closing health gaps in Columbus
Every member of the Columbus community deserves to reach their full health potential. However, historical and modern-day policies and practices result in unfair differences in opportunities to live a healthy life. This data snapshot explores some of the underlying reasons why some groups of Columbus residents live shorter and less healthy lives.
The snapshot also includes resources that outline effective strategies that state and local leaders can use to address inequities and increase opportunities for health and well-being in Columbus.
This snapshot was made possible by support from The Columbus Foundation.
