History
The mission of the Story County Quality of Life Alliance (SCQLA) is to promote health and quality of life across Story County through assessment and collaboration.
The purpose of SCQLA is to ensure the regular assessment of the health needs in our community through data collection/aggregation, and perpetuate this knowledge through organized and systematic sharing with community institutions at-large.
The alliance is well-positioned to identify a variety of health and human service needs. Currently, the alliance invests a majority of its time in the collaborative production of a Community Health Needs Assessment (every 5 years) and the subsequent Health Improvement Plans developed to address those specific needs.
