In this episode of Chamber Amplified, Doug Jenkins sits down with Zach Thomas of the Hancock County Board of Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services to break down the newly released 2026–2028 Hancock County Community Health Improvement Plan, and why it matters to employers, business leaders, and workforce decision-makers.

From access to care and mental health services to housing availability and chronic disease prevention, this conversation connects the dots between public health priorities and the realities businesses face every day: hiring, retention, productivity, and long-term workforce stability.

You’ll learn:

-Why community health is directly tied to employee performance and attendance
-How housing and transportation impact workforce recruitment and retention
-What “access to care” really means for employees and employers
-How businesses of all sizes can engage without becoming health providers
-Where collaboration between employers, nonprofits, and public health creates real results

This episode is especially relevant for business owners, HR professionals, managers, and community leaders who want to understand how broader health initiatives affect the local economy and how the business community fits into the solution.
