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 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) and healthy food access as the top services in need of strengthening. Professionals viewed safe and affordable housing as an additional area in need of improvement, while community members found safe communities to be more in need of improvement. See Exhibit 32 for the list of community services included in the 2022 CHA. 32 2022 | HPHD Community Health Assessment
