NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS 


County-wide Community Health Needs Assessment
 
The St. Clair County Health Care Commission, as part of a county-wide health improvement process, would like you to take a couple of short surveys.  Participation is voluntary and completely anonymous.  These assessments are very important - we need your input!
 
The Forces of Change Assessment online survey focuses on identifying forces such as legislation, technology, and other impending changes that affect the context in which the community and its public health system operate. This answers the questions: "What is occurring or might occur that affects the health of our community or the local public health system?" and "What specific threats or opportunities are generated by these occurrences?"  The estimated time to complete this survey is 10 minutes.
 
The Community Themes and Strengths Assessment (aka - "Life in My County") online survey provides a deeper understanding of the issues that residents feel are important by answering the questions: "What is important to our community?" "How is quality of life perceived in our community?" and "What assets do we have that can be used to improve community health?" In this survey, the assessment team is looking for a representation of citizens from all of the communities within the St. Clair County area (approximately 2,000 to 3,000 individuals or 1% of the population) to answer these questions. The results of this survey will be summarized and used to evaluate citizen needs, plan new programs, and monitor progress of county health initiatives. The estimated time to complete this survey is 15 minutes.
