Community Health Planning

Program Overview

Community Health Assessment

The Community Health Assessment conducted in 2004 provides a detailed look at health data including demographics, socio-economics, maternal and child health, youth issues, chronic diseases, communicable diseases, diversity issues, senior issues, social issues and health care services. The document is instrumental in determining areas of priority addressed in strategic planning.

The 2004 Community Health Assessment was completed by assembling and analyzing data which is routinely collected by many local, state and federal agencies. An original health and risk factor survey of county residents was also completed. The assessment was made possible through a grant from the Missouri Foundation for Health.
