Community Health Assessment

Every three years, we and dozens of community partners take a deep look at the data behind our community's health, then turn it into action.

About the assessment

Every three years the Fairfield County Health Department, along with dozens of community partners from healthcare, mental health, social services, education, local government, grant funders, and more, conducts a Community Health Assessment (CHA).

We look at the data compiled in the CHA to identify trends and compare our health status to state and national rates. This data includes disease rates, leading causes of death, cancer rates, social and economic drivers of health status, information collected from interviews with community leaders, and the results of surveys sent to households across the county.

The CHA helps identify community needs and allows us to direct resources toward those needs. After the CHA is completed, public health system partner organizations use the findings to develop a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP).
