Healthy Communities

Making the healthy choice the easy choice in Bartholomew and Jennings Counties in Indiana. Part of Columbus Regional Health Foundation.

The Healthy Communities Initiative of Columbus Regional Health focuses on bringing community members together to address the major health needs of the community, with the aim of making our region a healthier and safer place to live. We work together with healthcare, social service organizations, schools, businesses, local government, churches and others to work on projects to improve community health. Every three years, we conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment – a community health status survey that helps us determine where to focus our efforts to improve community health. We then work on the main priorities identified in this assessment in collaboration with and with support from the Healthy Communities Council and our Action Teams. Our Action Teams work on infant mortality prevention, breastfeeding, mental health, tobacco cessation, physical activity, nutrition, and more. We aim to make changes to our systems and structures to make it easier to make the healthy choice.

🎨 Congratulations to our talented young artists!

Aubreigh Campbell created the winning poster design for the 2026 Mill Race Marathon, while Krithik Ramachandran, just a third grader at the time, designed the winning Kids Fun Run T-shirt!

Pictured with Mill Race Marathon Committee member David Venable, these young artists helped make this year’s events extra special.

Healthy Communities is proud to co-sponsor the Kids Fun Run and celebrate the creativity of our local students. Congratulations, Aubreigh and Krithik! 👏
