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.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
