About the Community Health Needs Assessment
The Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) is conducted every three years to identify and prioritize health-related needs among county residents, set an action plan to address those needs, and improve the overall health of our community. A key component of this process is the Community Health Opinion Survey to capture the voices and perspectives of residents. In addition to the survey, the assessment process also includes a review of population health data and community focus group discussions. All information from the CHNA will be used to generate a report, which will be reviewed with community partners to then create a strategic action plan for addressing the identified health priorities. The 2025 CHNA process is being conducted through partnership with Ascendient. To view the previous CHNA results from 2022, visit the Brunswick County Community Health Needs Assessment webpage.
