The health of a community is determined by the physical, mental, spiritual and social well-being of all community residents. The 2016 Community Health Assessment (CHA) process is meant to mobilize residents to take part in setting health priorities, create an environment where everyone has an opportunity to be healthy and provide a more in-depth analysis of root causes associated with health issues identified in the previous health assessment of 2011. The 2016 CHA, which can be accessed at the link below, will be useful, relevant and actionable for effective community health improvement planning.
