Home > Our Purpose
The Quad City Health Initiative (QCHI) emerged out of the interest of community members and leaders in improving the health of the Quad City region. In 1999, QCHI established a community Board which today includes local representatives from health care, public health, education, business, social services and government.
To create collaborative action on health through community assessments, plans and partnerships.
All Quad Cities organizations recognize and act on their role to improve health.
Commitment: We embrace our community and acknowledge our individual and collective responsibility for meeting our community’s challenges.
Collaboration: We work to bring the right people and resources to the right place at the right time and create strong partnerships for the greater good of our community.
Creativity: We approach each new challenge willing to experiment, take risks and learn.
