4. Sizable; considerable: a healthy portion of peas; a healthy raise in salary.

health′i·ness n.
Synonyms: healthy, wholesome, sound2, hale1, robust, well2
These adjectives refer to a state of good physical health. Healthy stresses the absence of disease or infirmity and is used of whole organisms as well as their parts: a healthy baby; flossed daily to promote healthy gums. Wholesome suggests a state of good health associated with youthful vitality or clean living: 'In truth, a wholesome, ruddy, blooming creature she was' (Harriet Beecher Stowe).
Healthy and wholesome are often extended to conditions or choices deemed conducive to good health: a healthy lifestyle; wholesome foods. Sound emphasizes freedom from injury, imperfection, or impairment: 'The man with the toothache thinks everyone happy whose teeth are sound' (George Bernard Shaw).
Hale stresses freedom from infirmity, especially in elderly persons, while robust emphasizes healthy strength and ruggedness: 'He is pretty well advanced in years, but hale, robust, and florid' (Tobias Smollett).
Well indicates absence of or recovery from illness: felt well enough to make the trip.
Usage Note: Some people insist on maintaining a distinction between the words healthy and healthful. In this view, healthful means 'conducive to good health' and is applied to things that promote health, while healthy means 'possessing good health,' and is applied solely to people and other organisms. Accordingly, healthy people have healthful habits. However, healthy has been used to mean 'healthful' since the 1500s, as in this example from John Locke's Some Thoughts Concerning Education: 'Gardening ... and working in wood, are fit and healthy recreations for a man of study or business.' In fact, the word healthy is far more common than healthful when modifying words like diet, exercise, and foods, and healthy may strike many readers as more natural in many contexts. Certainly, both healthy and healthful must be considered standard in describing that which promotes health.

Spectrum Health dedicates $6 million every year to Healthier Communities to advance health equity in West Michigan.

What is health equity?

Health is defined as the “state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.' Health equity is the absence of avoidable, unfair or remediable differences among groups of people, whether those groups are defined socially, economically, demographically, geographically or by other means. Health equity implies that everyone should have a fair opportunity to attain their full health potential and that no one should be disadvantaged from achieving this potential. Total health in a community cannot be present where health inequities exist.

What are our strategies?

  • Reduce infant mortality
  • Advance family economic security as a means to improve health
  • Improve community wellness and reduce chronic disease

What is our theory of change?

Spectrum Health Healthier Communities uses a theory of change to examine community need and decisions about how we use our resources. Our theory of change is simple: We focus on reaching the highest levels of health equity possible. To do this we believe that resources need to focus on the individual or systems that include institutions, networks of institutions or dynamics within the community. Spectrum Health Healthier Communities will focus its resources on these four drivers of health:

People

  • The influence of those around you and the potential positive and negative impacts they have on your overall health and wellbeing. Your network’s power to support you in the advancement of your goals, wishes and daily life. Your network’s collective knowledge, access to larger systems, and understanding of who you are and your situation. How a person or a group of people are materially situated in a community.

Agency

  • Self-esteem, strength of identity, coping skills, ambition, attitude, emotional intelligence and understanding of your own culture. The desire to see your life through a positive lens and the ability and willingness to meet your life goals. The ability and willingness of a neighborhood or community to organize around issues that ultimately impact health.

Access

  • An individual’s ability to access available services or institutions without high cost and in your own language. The ability to adhere to medically appropriate advice and prevention, including medication and other medical regimens. The ability of a system to be accessible or incent adherence to a medical regimen.

Quality

Healthier Or More Healthy Grammar

  • The power of a community or neighborhood to solve its deepest issues. Quality may range from advocacy for policies that reduce health barriers to an organization delivering high quality, culturally appropriate care based on best practices.

Community Partnerships

Healthier Communities works closely with community partners to impact infant mortality, chronic disease and economic security outcomes in the community. We support our partners with funding, evaluation, technical assistance and network building. Our community partnerships are an invitation-only process.
