Our strategy for a healthier Hertfordshire and west Essex

Caring for people’s wellbeing and supporting those who face the biggest challenges to living healthy, independent lives, is at the heart of everything we do in Hertfordshire and west Essex.  

We know that each person’s health and wellbeing is shaped by their childhood experiences, the home and environment they grew up in, their finances, education, employment opportunities, and access to vital public services. 

Our integrated care strategy sets out how we will work together over the next 10 years and beyond to ensure that we can create healthy and safe communities where everyone’s contributions are valued, and we all have the opportunities and support we need to thrive. 

This three-minute animation explains how we will work together to make Hertfordshire and west Essex a healthier place to live.

The integrated care strategy will constantly evolve as delivery gets underway. You can be part of that ongoing process to review and develop our plans by sharing your thoughts and ideas. To give your views on what you have seen or read, email us. 

If you would like a paper copy of the strategy, there will be some available in libraries and community locations. 

We are now starting to develop plans of action for the six priority areas in the strategy. If you want to help shape plans in any of these six areas fill in a short form and we will keep you updated on opportunities to get involved.
