Through a series of community discussions and interview funded by HRSA, the Saline County Team has identified the following priority community health issues:
- Access to Health Care
- for general public
- for special groups (children, elders)

- provider awareness of needs, resources
- environment that is conducive to health
Other cross-cutting issues were also identified as contributing to or complicating the resolution of these priorities:
- Community vitality and involvement
- Impact of changes in population
- Challenges to economic wellbeing
The group has also proposed initial strategies to address the priority health issues, which can be found near the end of the Saline County MAPP for a Healthy Future Report.
