Involving Stakeholders in Planning
Imagine that you are a public health professional. A county health department has contracted with you to conduct a community health assessment focused specifically on health promotion through physical exercise. The head of the health department has a list of people who should be present at the planning meeting. You notice that they are all representatives of local government agencies.Post the number of the scenario you selected and your rationale for why it is important to include community stakeholders in this community health planning scenario. Then, describe at least three additional groups that might be appropriate to include in the planning for this community health assessment and explain why you would include these stakeholders and not others.
