💢Are you a Davis County resident? We need your feedback! Davis County Hospital & Clinics and Davis County Public Health are working together to complete the 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) for Davis County.
If you would like to participate in the survey, please go to https://forms.office.com/r/G0f224hncV. You may also fill out the survey in paper form by contacting Davis County Hospital & Clinics at 641-664-7093. All surveys must be received by August 6th, 2021.
Completing a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) is a federal requirement for non-profit hospitals and must be completed at least every three years with input from the broader community, including public health. Data from this CHNA survey will help health care providers and community organizations improve the overall health and wellness of our community, and identify community needs, establish priorities for programs and services, and inform strategies to address gaps between critical needs and services.
All Davis County, Iowa residents and business leaders are encouraged to participate. Included in the 2022 CHNA surveys are questions dealing with community health regarding service delivery, fitness, nutrition, and access to care. All survey responses are anonymous and completing the survey takes less than 10 minutes.
