Community Health Assessments

Henry County Health Department - Serving All of Henry County, Ohio

A community health assessment (sometimes called a CHA), refers to a state, tribal, local, or territorial health assessment that identifies key health needs and issues through systematic, comprehensive data collection and analysis. CHAs also help measure how well a public health system is fulfilling its function.

What Makes Us Healthy?

Health is more than what happens at the doctor’s office. A wide range of factors influence how long and how well we live from education and income to what we eat and how we move to the quality of our housing and the safety of our neighborhoods.

2023 Community Health Assessment

For the 2023 Community Health Assessment process the Henry County Health Partners used the National Association of County and City Health Officials’ Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP). MAPP is a community-driven strategic planning process for improving community health by looking at health through a lens of health equity and community engagement. The three assessments are:

Community Health Status Assessment
- Adult Status Assessment
- Youth Status Assessment
- Health Equity Report
Community Partner Assessment
- Local Public Health System Assessment
Community Context Assessment
- Community Profiles
- Community Questions
- Community Focus Groups
- Forces of Change

The report contains a summary of each process, results, and conclusions from each of the MAPP assessments.
