Allentown's Community Health Assessment Released

Allentown has released its community health assessment, which you can read for yourself here. According to a news release accompanying this assessment, three issues have been identified for inclusion in its health improvement plan: (1) loneliness and isolation; (2) a need for safe, stable and affordable housing; and (3) a need for upward economic mobility. 

The three issues identified strike me as wholly misplaced, especially the notion that Allentonians are lonely or isolated.  But the assessment itself provides a great deal of useful data. I plan on reading it thoroughly over the weekend and will weigh in next week on what a health improvement plan might wish to consider. I invite you to do the same.

Allentown has had the same team of doctors for years. Allentown needs a new team of doctors. However, just as my dad refused to seek a better alternative to the quack who likely killed him, Allentown will cling to its incompetent doctor and continue to flail at its symptoms while ignoring the underlying disease.
