- What Makes a Community Healthy? A Look Under the HoodWhen we think about a person's health, we know it’s more than just the absence of a cold or an injury. It’s a complex system of physical and mental well-being that allows them to live a full life. A community’s health is much the same. It isn't just a place where people aren't sick; it's a dynamic environment where many interconnected systems work together to ensure residents can thrive. At its core, health is "the ability to cope with activities of daily living." This applies to individuals and the communities they form. This article will explore the different layers that create a truly healthy community, from the hidden infrastructure beneath our feet to the emergency services that protect us in a crisis.5
