Understanding Our Community’s Health

The Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) uses surveys, focus groups, and public health data to identify the most important health issues affecting local residents. This effort is part of a regional partnership through Health ENC, which connects counties across eastern North Carolina to share information and create coordinated health plans. Both hospitals and health departments are required to complete these reports, which guide planning, improve programs, and help reduce health differences in the community.

Health priorities are chosen through a collaborative process with community members, local experts, and partner organizations. These priorities guide public health actions each year. The Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) is created from the priorities identified in the CHNA. Each year after the CHNA, the State of the County Health Report highlights progress made on the CHIP. All reports are available on the scorecard.
