The HUB provides community-based organizations with the administrative and capacity-building support needed to focus on what they do best, deliver critical health programs within the community.

Our Purpose:

The purpose of the Iowa Community HUB is to prevent and manage chronic disease across Iowa by connecting individuals of all ages, abilities, incomes and lived experiences, to community health programs and support, ensuring everyone has access to resources and opportunities to lead healthy lives. 

We accomplish our mission by supporting community-based organizations like you, in your implementation, expansion, and sustainability of quality programs and services.

Who we serve through Iowa Community HUB membership?

Who is a HUB Member?

Community-based organizations that deliver chronic disease prevention and management programs. We are especially interested in organizations offering evidence-based programs.

What are Evidence-based Programs?

Evidence-based programs are structured, proven interventions that have been tested and shown to improve health outcomes, such as the Diabetes Prevention Program, Tai Chi for Arthritis and Falls Prevention, Better Choices, Better Health, and Walk with Ease.

We also Support Organizations Delivering Evidence-Informed Programs

These programs are grounded in research showing promise for improving health outcomes, but have not necessarily undergone the same level of rigorous testing and standardization as formal evidence-based programs.
