Population health envisions sustaining all members of the community at their highest possible level of functioning, both for their individual happiness and for the collective community benefit. Achieving the vision helps the community as a whole with lower healthcare costs and a larger, stronger workforce. Success in population health is measured by residents’ ability to lead a productive life, their life expectance, the incidence of preventable diseases and premature death, and disease prevention indicators such as immunization rates and the ability or support services.
