What is community health? 

Community health is care delivered in your local area, close to home. 

It helps you to: 

• Stay well and prevent problems from getting worse 

• Manage your health and long-term conditions 

• Recover after illness or injury 

• Remain independent for longe

Many people aren’t aware of the range of community health services available, and think support is only available through hospitals and local GP. In reality, there is a wide range of NHS care available locally, often without needing to travel far.
