The Wood County Community Health Assessment is a data-driven look at the health of adults, youth and children who live in Wood County. It compares new data to information from previous assessments and the state and country as a whole to give us a snapshot of the health of our community. This report is a crucial step in raising awareness of key health issues we are facing while informing our path to building a healthier community. The Community Health Assessment will serve as the basis for the Community Health Improvement Plan, which defines our priorities and outlines actions we will take over the next three years to improve the health of people in our county. Improving the health of people in our community is a responsibility that is shared across a wide variety of organizations. Wood County Health Partners is seeking to include as many stakeholders as possible in sharing the results of the Community Health Assessment, to position us to develop a Community Health Improvement Plan that truly reflects the diverse needs of our community. By working together to address the needs of our community, we can have a powerful impact. It is our hope that the information in this report will be enlightening not only for the general public but also those organizations that will use the data to inform their work, write grant requests, form strategic plans, and motivate communities to become champions for positive change.
