Working to address the unmet health care needs of Kentuckians, the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky’s approach centers on developing and shaping health policy and promoting lasting change in the systems by which health care is provided, and environments in which health choices are made.
We are committed to producing health information for policymakers, health officials, local decision makers, and advocates, in part, by sponsoring a random digit dial telephone opinion poll of Kentucky adults called the Kentucky Health Issues Poll. The Kentucky Health Issues Poll (KHIP) has been conducted annually since 2008 to assess what Kentuckians think about a variety of health topics affecting the Commonwealth. The KHIP provides health status and brief socioeconomic profiles of the state and five geographic regions. By including health policy topics in KHIP, the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky contributes unique, timely, and reliable data to the conversation on improving the health of all Kentuckians.
