Every 3 years, Monroe County Health Department works with local partners to complete a Community Health Assessment (CHA). This assessment uses health data and input from residents to understand health needs in Monroe County, which is then used to create a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). Access the 2021 CHA report for Monroe County here.
Utilizing the data collected from the CHA, we met with community stakeholders and members to identify top priorities for us to address as a community. The following health issues emerged as priorities for Monroe County based on the data review and community input. These three priorities will be the focus of educational, programmatic, and policy attention for 2023-2026:
- Mental Health
- Alcohol and Other Drug Use
- Safe and Affordable Housing
The CHIP outlines the goals, objectives, possible strategies, and activities that will be used to address our community health priorities. Access the 2023-2026 CHIP here.
Each year, Monroe County Health Department compiles a report of activities and accomplishments of public health programming in the year. Learn more about our activities below:
