Community Development

WHO WE ARE: 

The Community Development Office is our population health arm which aims to improve the health of the entire population and reduce health inequities in Virginia Beach. Population health refers to not only the overall health of a population, but also to the distribution of health outcomes within a population, which include the range of personal, social, economic, and environmental factors that influence health outcomes, and the policies and interventions that affect those factors. Our Community Development Office supports a wide range of programs and projects of the VBDPH.

WHAT WE DO:

• Strive to support our underserved communities and help them gain access to resources utilizing the Unite Virginia resource platform. 
• Partner organizations that serve the community in the Hampton Roads area to support community initiatives and resources. 
• Provide Education and outreach around Public Health resources. 
• Provide COVID-19 Education, Testing and Vaccination to our Community-Based Organizations, Faith-Based Organizations, Universities/Colleges, Homeless, and Under-Served communities.
