2026 Community Health Needs Assessment
|
Join us in completing a Community Health Needs Assessment. This survey will help identify areas of need and develop a Community Health Improvement Plan. Every five years local health departments are required to conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment and Improvement Plan. The purpose of the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) is for the Crawford County Health Department (CCHD) to serve the health needs of the residents of the county and meet the requirement of the Certified Local Health Department Code. The end-goal is to implement a plan together to meet the community's needs identified by key stakeholders - county officials, social services agencies, and YOU! As CCHD moves forward this year, we want to focus our efforts on issues and initiatives our community feels are important. Please help us in this goal. We want to know how you view our community, so we are inviting you to participate in the Community Health Assessment for Crawford County, Illinois. Your opinions are important. This survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. All of your individual responses are confidential. CCHD will use the results of the surveys to improve our understanding of the health needs within the community.
