Community Health Status Assessment
Community Health Status Assessment evaluates the overall health of a community by examining data on disease rates, health behaviors, and access to care. This helps identify key health issues and guide actions to improve well-being.

Improving health is a shared responsibility of health care providers and public health officials, as well as a variety of organizations and individuals who contribute to the well-being of our community. No single entity can make a community healthy. So much more can be accomplished by working together with a common vision to improve health. To that end this document has been prepared to provide a foundation on which to implement change to work towards a healthier community and Sullivan County.
