Health is impacted by a variety of factors, deemed social determinants of health, that range from quality education to safe and healthy environments. We asked respondents to identify the (top three) most important community health services that they felt needed to be strengthened in order to improve health and healthcare for both children and adults in the community. Professionals and community members identified access to mental health providers in schools (Pre-K - 12) as the top service in need of strengthening. Professionals viewed safe and affordable housing and healthy food access as areas in need of improvement, while community members found safe communities and quality of education (Pre K-12) to be more in need of improvement. See Exhibit 117 for the list of community services included in the 2022 CHA. 102 2022 | HPHD Community Health Assessment
