SUMMARY During this Live Healthy Lorain (LHL) meeting we briefly reviewed the CHANGE tool community health assessment (definitions and examples below). We discussed the school, worksite, and community org. sites in Lorain that may be good to initially work with, beginning with this assets-needs assessment. These groups will partner with LHL to establish a baseline for health improvement projects that we anticipate will help the Lorain community to thrive over time. Time commitment was discussed, (see notes below). Lastly, we began and completed the Physical Activity and Leadership sections of questions for the CHANGE tool assessment. When answering these questions, participants were encouraged to think about Lorain City as a whole, rather than their individual agencies or groups. The results of the CHANGE tool will allow our group to prioritize what environmental, policy, and systems changes we can make to make the healthy choice the easy choice in Lorain. The next meeting is Wednesday, March 25. We will have a focus group discussion around Tobacco, Chronic Disease, and Nutrition in Lorain at this meeting and talk about the next steps for the group. *See below for details from 3/9/15.* Introductions-- Representatives from 13 agencies/groups in attendance.
