Lack of Resources Don’t necessarily need money, but lack of dedicated staff was
challenging This is work above and beyond primary public health workGeography Lots of ground to cover Meeting can be challenging
Smaller pool of community partners means that: Same people at every table Only so many meetings people will go to Keeping participants engagedMultiple existing groups Many single focused partnerships Intervention strategies that began outside of the community Health improvement initiatives that are basically controlled by larger
institutions

Support Network Communication is key Identify a dedicated staff person to participate from start to finish. Provide support to those ready to move forward, while
“marketing” to others Find a local champion Use Participants Time Well Only meet when there is something to get done Allowing communities to determine readiness Provide TrainingDon’t Reinvent the Wheel Build on past experiences and successes as a segue to MAPP fit with existing efforts Build on long-standing partnerships Collaboration with MPH students

Q6: Are you considering using MAPP again? What would you do differently next time?
“It was time to either update the plan by going through the assessments again, or to stop the process. The partners were enthusiastic about doing it again. Now the LHD is in charge of the Rural Health Network, and it’s through this group that the MAPP process now has funding to sustain itself.” - Carol Ryan

“MAPP is our recommended tool for community health planning, and we will continue to provide support to
implementing communities within our region. In the future, I think there is a need to focus on the organizing for success and visioning components of the model.” - Carlos Yunsan

Q6: Are you considering using MAPP again? What would you do differently next time?
“We are using MAPP again to complete our 2008 NYS required community health assessment. We will use the original as our template and will update the document in addition to a higher
level of data analysis. We will again work as a tri-county group. I don’t think we will do very much different. What we
did worked for us.” - Laurie Williams
