The health industry already has a lot to manage with limited time and resources. Adding community engagement to the list may seem out of reach.
Healthcare industry workers juggle many responsibilities. It can sometimes feel like:
Your staff and budget are stretched incredibly thin.
You wish you had more insight from residents so you can provide necessary support.
You don’t have the time to gather community feedback.
You’re lacking the right tools to engage the public on health issues.
You need to combat misinformation.
You’re struggling to report outcomes with insufficient data.

Public health services are at the lowest they’ve been in a decade. With greater demands and fewer workers, the healthcare industry is stretched even more. With Polco for community health, agencies can connect to residents, identify concerns, and make the right decisions.
Health departments deal with varying complex issues, including everything from food safety to emergency preparedness. With so much to manage, engaging with residents often falls to the wayside. But agencies that reach out to residents are more successful in building and maintaining a healthy community.
Outreach reveals residents’ health priorities, whether its access to services, recreational activities, or healthy foods. Understanding community needs lets departments direct their focus and resources where they are needed most to make sure time and money doesn’t go to waste. Resident input also illuminates educational opportunities to inform the public on important health information.
Using Polco ensures that health departments receive insights from hard-to-reach groups. Representative feedback helps officials make decisions that support everyone in the most effective way.
