This Connecticut State Health Assessment was developed by the Connecticut Department of Public Health with the assistance of the Connecticut Health Improvement Coalition, and its Action Teams and Advisory Council.
This Assessment is the result of more than a year of dedicated and collaborative effort of DPH staff, staff from several other State agencies, and subject matter experts throughout the state who analyzed and contributed data and reviewed multiple iterations of this document as it evolved. This Assessment would not have been possible without their expertise and commitment to this project.
