About Us

The Quad City Health Initiative (QCHI) is a community partnership seeking to create a healthy community. A cross-sector Board, established in 1999, oversees the organization. The Initiative strives to be our community's recognized leader for creating collaborative action on health and abides by the core values of commitment, collaboration and creativity.
QCHI coordinates community health assessment processes which then leads to taking action on the community’s highest priority health needs. For example, Be Healthy QC - just one of our projects - continues to align the bi-state community in promoting healthy eating and physical activity.
Major financial support of the Quad City Health Initiative is currently provided by the generous direct and in-kind investments of Genesis Health System and UnityPoint Health-Trinity. Additional support is provided by more than 30 organization and individual sponsors. For more information visit our website at qchealthinitiative.org.
