JEFFERSON COUNTY, MO – Compass Health Network, Jefferson County Community Partnership, Mercy Hospital, Jefferson County Health Department, and Jefferson Franklin Community Action Corporation are working together to survey Jefferson County residents about the health issues, challenges and needs most important to them. All Jefferson County residents are encouraged to participate in the Jefferson County Health Systems Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA).
CHNA data is collected every three years to inform strategies by each health system to address our region’s most critical health and social needs.
“The collaboration of agencies for the Jefferson County Community Health Assessment is an excellent example of organizations working together to support the communities' health, safety, and well-being,” states Brianne Zwiener, Health Communications Manager at Jefferson County Health Department. “By coming together to promote one brief yet impactful survey, we increase the number of voices heard and gain a better understanding of the needs of our county.”
The anonymous online survey contains questions about health challenges, access to care, and socioeconomic factors, including financial status, living conditions, and social support networks.
The survey will take about 5 minutes to complete and will be available through May 17, 2024. All residents in our community are welcome and encouraged to complete the survey.
