ABOUT THE COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT
This assessment brings together community health leaders and providers, along with local residents, to research and
prioritize city and county health needs. Obtaining insight from those who live, work, play and worship in the community is
a very important way to examine community health. In an effort to understand the different perspectives, HPHD in
collaboration with local hospitals, conducted surveys with 944 community professionals and 11,004 community residents -
a much greater population than our previous Community Health Assessment conducted in 2019. We continue to conduct
this work, on an ongoing basis, with the goal of continuously updating our understanding of community needs.
The following information, defined by topic, provides an overview from the HPHD Professional Stakeholder and
Community Stakeholder survey questions. For clarity, community members who answered the professional stakeholder
survey, and vice versa, were excluded from these results.
Community Health Concerns: We asked survey respondents to review a list of common community health issues and
identify from the lists what they view as the (top three) most important health concerns in the community where they live
or work. As shown in Exhibit 8, a wide range of concerns were identified on both surveys. Two of the top three health
concerns among adults (18+) were the same for both professional and community stakeholders: behavioral / mental
health and COVID-19. Additionally, professionals viewed alcohol / substance abuse as a primary health concern for adults
(18+) in the HPHD community, while community members cited Alzheimer’s Disease / dementia as a main concern.
