	"Community health is a microcosm of public health, which isolates the population to a specific community, typically based on geography. This allows systemic attributes of that community to factor in as possible agents of health issue propagation. Community health grafts in psychosocial factors beyond just medical ones as being impactful on health. Using a community as the unit of analysis and intervention has been effective in population health management because of the ability to design community-level intervention programs that work to staunch the expansion of critical health issues by accounting for the full continuum of relevant influences. So in short, placing a community health lens on public health bolsters effective population health management in both issue detection and mitigation." -LeRoy Jones, CEO, GSI Health, Philadelphia, Pa.
