The Importance of Governmental and Nongovernmental Investments in Public Health and Social Services for Improving Community Health Outcomes

Conclusions: Hospital provision of community health services and increases in local governmental health and social services spending were both associated with improved health. Collaboration between local governments and hospitals may help ensure that public and private community health resources synergistically contribute to the public's health. Local policy makers should consider service provision by the private sector to leverage the public investments in health and social services.
