Michigan Health Tools Maps


Welcome! The Michigan Department of Community Health and its partner organizations have developed online assessments and websites to help promote and support better health for Michigan citizens – in communities, at work, at school and in places of worship. Below are brief descriptions of the assessments, as well as a map showing the communities and organizations that have participated.
Healthy Community Checklist: Communities can get a snapshot of their health environment by completing this online checklist. Healthy Schools, Healthy Students: The Healthy Schools websites feature the Healthy School Action Tools (HSAT), Healthy School Environment Recognition Program, Healthy Schools Success Story website, and Student Health Survey website. Promoting Active Communities: Communities can see how well they support and promote physical activity and become eligible for the Michigan Fitness Foundation Active Community Award. Promoting Healthy Eating: Communities can use the online Nutrition Environment Assessment Tool (NEAT) as the first step in improving their support of healthy eating. Creating Smoke-Free Communities: Communities can use the Smoke-Free Communities Assessment Tool (SFCAT) to help increase smoke-free environments in ALL community venues. Healthy Work Environments: Employers can use the Designing Healthy Environments at Work (DHEW) assessment to identify ways to create a healthier work environment. Walk by Faith: Two websites providing resources to assist Michigan faith leaders in promoting healthy congregants: one features the Promoting Healthy Congregations assessment and the other is the online home of the Michigan Faith-Based Health Association.
