The approach that has been developed within Cheshire recognises the importance of good health as a resource for living and the inter-relationship of the social, economic and environmental factors which affect health and the quality of life of all Cheshire citizens. Our approach therefore is inclusive, focusing on the whole population, whilst at the same time recognising that significant inequalities in health exist across the county. This has been developed though wider partnerships with the objective of agreeing priorities for action which require a partnership approach to
deliver real and sustainable improvements.

Our vision:
For all Cheshire citizens to enjoy good health and a good quality of life. We will work to reduce the differences in health experiences across our communities and tackle disadvantages in health.
