very three years, the New York State Department of Health requires Local Health Departments and hospitals to submit Community Health Assessments, Community Service Plans, and Community Health Improvement Plans. These assessments and plans are meant to meet several requirements from state public health law and the Affordable Care Act.
In recent years, the New York State Department of Health has encouraged local hospitals and health departments to collaborate in the creation of these documents in order to better serve their communities.
“Collaboration is an essential element for improving population health in communities and in the State as a whole. Furthermore, working together to develop a community health assessment and community health improvement plan will reduce duplication and assist local health departments and hospitals to conduct this work in an effective, efficient manner”

ullivan County has the highest percentage of school aged children and adolescents who are overweight or obese in the Hudson Valley and while the NYS childhood obesity rates are decreasing, rates are increasing in Sullivan. Sullivan also suffers from the highest rate of disconnected youth in our region.
Creating a healthier future for our children takes work and coordination from multiple directions. Making changes in schools, educating parents, and empowering young people are just some of the important parts of creating a healthier generation.
Sullivan 180 is committed to changing the trajectory of the young people in our communities and helping them to establish healthy habits early on.
We look forward to working with local school districts, community partners, parents, and most importantly, local youth, to empower a healthier generation. We ask you to register on the Alliance for a Healthier Generation website today to understand where your school district stands, to stay connected, review and utilize available resources, and become a part of the movement.

TASTY, HEALTHY LENTILS
Though small, lentils pack a nutritional punch. They’re rich in plant-based protein, folate, and fiber. They’re packed with potassium, iron, and magnesium. They’re also low in fat.
Lentils belong to the family of veggies called legumes, along with dried peas and beans. Unlike many dried beans, lentils don’t need to soak or cook for a long time before they’re tender. They cook in about 20 minutes. That makes them a great pantry staple and a nice option for weeknight meals.
Here are a few ways to add lentils to your healthy eating plan:
• Add to soups, stews, and casseroles.
• Puree for a healthy spread or dip.
• Swap for red meat in chili and tacos.
• Use as a base for a cold salad.
• Sautee with your favorite veggies for a savory side dish.
Add lentils to your grocery list and look for some tasty recipes to try.
