Build healthier futures with data-powered public health

At mySidewalk, our mission is deeply intertwined with the goals of public health—promoting health equity, improving population health, and ensuring every community has the resources to thrive. Public health professionals are the changemakers on the frontlines, confronting complex issues that affect the well-being of millions. Whether you're a local, regional, or state office, we've built our library and platform of tools with health departments of all shapes and sizes in mind. We understand the challenges you face: the need for timely, accurate data to drive decisions, the pressure to modernize data systems, and the constant demand for innovation to meet evolving health priorities.

Our platform is designed to align seamlessly with public health initiatives, offering powerful tools to modernize and streamline data management. With mySidewalk, you’re not just gathering data; you’re transforming it into actionable insights that can shape healthier communities. 

Whether you're addressing chronic disease, health equity, or emergency preparedness, mySidewalk empowers you with the data and innovative tools you need to lead your community toward better health outcomes. By leveraging the power of AI, our platform enhances your ability to analyze public health trends, uncover health inequities, and craft data-driven reports and interventions with precision.

One of the worst feelings is staring at a blank page, especially when you’re up against tight deadlines and the urgent need to communicate critical public health insights. That’s where our templates come in.

Traditional processes for developing a Community Health Assessment (CHA) or a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) can be time-consuming, often taking months to complete. But with expertly designed Report and Dashboard templates, you can significantly speed up this process without sacrificing quality or depth.

Our templates are tailored specifically for public health professionals, offering a streamlined way to gather the most relevant data aligned with industry standards. These templates come pre-populated with key datasets and ready-made visualizations, so you can focus on analysis and decision-making rather than starting from scratch. Our platform makes it easy to customize these templates to fit your community’s unique needs in just a few clicks, ensuring that your reports are both comprehensive and specific to your goals.

By leveraging templates, you can ensure that your public health reports are not only data-rich but also visually engaging and easy to understand. Imagine a future where you can uncover and deliver insights more quickly and enable your team to move from analysis to action faster than ever before.

You’re not just saving time—you’re enhancing your ability to communicate the full picture of your community’s health, driving more effective public health strategies and interventions.

We are lucky to work with the kinds of organizations we do. Local and state health departments from around the country have been using our community data library and tools for more than a decade to guide—and get the word out—about their work. In fact, their feedback has been applied directly back into our data source selection, our platform, and templates.

It's no secret finding funding and support for programs and initiatives require data. While many communities face issues like substance use disorders, maternal and child health, and food insecurity, knowing which neighborhoods—and which neighbors—experience negative impacts the most can help you advocate for and allocate resources to those who need them most.
