I am the Director of the Missouri CHART (Community Health Assessment Resource Team). We have been extensively involved in coalition development, community assessment, leadership training, issue prioritization, etc. for the past 3 years. I have a vast amount of information (i.e. a series of 5 manuals on the CHART Process, data resources, community development materials, etc) that I believe would be useful to add to the site. Missouri has a very strong state level partnership whose members include the MO DOH, the hospital assoc. the medical assocs, nursing, universities, - 30 in all, who support the CHART model, and who work through their members to improve health status in Missouri communities. I love this site - I saw your presentation at APHA. As a member of the Coalition for Healthier Cities & Communities in the U.S., I also support the development of one site, and I believe this one is it. Great work - I think you'll see tremendous use of the site, especially once the word gets out to a broader audience.
