It is important that any existing or potential impacts on Population Health resulting from public policies and/or business activities be explored and understood so that decision makers correctly anticipate the impact of their decisions on communities.
A health impact assessment serves as a planning tool, providing organizational leaders with an estimate of the potential health effects of a business project or particular public policy, minimizing negative health impacts.
TransforMEDx works with the non-profit Health Impact Partners using proven methods and tools to conduct assessments designed to make the health related consequences of public decisions and private business activities better understood and properly communicated.
