Regional Health Alliance
A regional public-private partnership working to improve the community’s health.

Regional Health Alliance (RHA) originated in 1999 as a group of community leaders brought together to work on a specific health issue. In the course of that process, the group realized it shared a vision and commitment to health improvement. By consensus, the group formalized itself as an action-oriented partnership to focus upon and address issues that will improve the health of residents in Calhoun County.

Today, RHA remains an innovative partnership of health concerned entities and individuals working to improve the community’s health. The purpose of RHA is to:

• Make the community a better place to live
• Research health problems
• Prioritize health issues
• Set indicator targets for the year 2010
• Initiate projects in achieving objectives
• Identify and bring community resources together
• Collaborate health initiatives

RHA has Issue Action Groups made up of community volunteers/leaders that meet monthly to address various health issues for Calhoun County. For more information on the Issue Action Groups or member organizations, please see list at right. >>

RHA is funded by the Battle Creek Community Foundation.
