As a part of state Public Health Standards, local health departments are required to do a community health assessment every five years. They can accomplish this in a number of ways, but minimally they are to review local health data, request input on health concerns from the community and develop a strategic plan addressing issues identified in the assessment. The board of health receives a final report to assist them in planning future public health programs. The Center for Healthy Communities provides technical assistance to a number of local health departments to complete their community health assessments.
