It is that time again – the Community Health Needs Assessment Survey is currently open and we want to hear from you! This assessment is being undertaken by a partnership of 33 counties, hospitals, health systems, and health departments in Eastern North Carolina. It allows these partners to better understand the health status and needs of the community they serve and use the knowledge gained to implement programs that will benefit the community. We can better understand community needs by gathering voices from the community. This survey allows community members like you, and others, to tell us about what you feel are important issues for your community. A paper version can be printed and completed or a link below can be used. We estimate that it will take about 10 minutes to complete the survey. Answers to these questions will be kept confidential and anonymous. Please complete the survey by May 15, 2021.
The link to the English survey can be found here: https://redcap.ecu.edu/surveys/?s=4YJCCCAAEW
The link to the Spanish version can be found here: https://redcap.ecu.edu/surveys/?s=YDLYHLEDL3
Once we have gathered all of the surveys – both online and the paper copies, we plan to compile this information and use it to develop a community health improvement plan with our community public health partners in the area.
