Community Partners

The Ledge Light Health District is committed to providing quality services and to meeting the needs of our communities. We are fortunate to have many partners who share our dedication to building healthy and safe communities. From health education to environmental protection to emergency response planning, we work together with local and state health, social service and government agencies to build healthy and safe communities for our residents.

The six municipalities which the District serves are our key partners. We work together with these municipalities by providing a public health perspective and helping to integrate public health into their daily activities. We also benefit from their support of our activities and programs.

Our partnerships with our municipal members extend to their respective school districts as well, as we work together to bring education about public health issues and healthy living to their students and faculty. The in-school dental component of our Smiles Program is another example of our collaboration for better healthier schools.

Our public health partners include other local health districts and departments. Sharing expertise and resources enables us to launch New London County-wide health programs and initiatives.

Our health partnerships extend to health care organizations, bringing together our focus on prevention with their dedication to healing. The CHAMP and Smiles Programs are just two examples of synergistic projects between public health and providers.

Our partnerships with community social service agencies are critical to the fulfillment of our vision of a healthy community. Their programs and ours benefit from mutual support and shared resources and knowledge.
