Community Health Assessment

Every three years, the Central District Health Department works with partners to assess the health and well-being of the community. This process is known as the Community Health Assessment, or the “CHA”. Through the CHA, we learn about things like the top illnesses in our counties, the biggest health concerns, what keeps people from getting the care they need, and more. We collect all this information and share it with our partners and with the public. This information is then used to create a Community Health Improvement Plan, or a “CHIP”.

Below you can find the complete Community Health Assessment from 2021.

Food Safety & Permits

The goal of the CDHD Food Safety Program is to lower the number of outbreaks of foodborne illness, when people get food poisoning after eating the same unsafe food. We work to ensure that safe food is offered to the public by permitted and inspected establishments.
