A Community Approach to Better Health
The mission of the Partnership for a Healthy Geauga is to strengthen the local public health system, and to provide programs and services to improve the health and well-being of Geauga County residents.
Partnership for a Healthy Geauga
About the Surveys
The basis for these surveys was the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH), and Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (BRFSS). In addition to these CDC surveys, planning partners identified local health indicators that were included in the questionnaires.
The statistics contained in the 2019 Community Health Assessment provide valid and reliable measures of the collective health of Geauga County residents. This document will guide the Partnership for a Healthy Geauga over the next few years to strengthen the local public health system and provide programs and services that will improve the health and well-being of Geauga County residents. This report would not exist without the financial support of many public and private agencies, as well as the dedicated work of planning partners who took the time to carefully plan and carry out the assessment. Special thanks are given to Britney Ward and Emily Golias of the Hospital Council of Northwest Ohio for guiding us through the health assessment process.
Future
It is our intent to periodically repeat this process in an effort to measure improvements and identify emerging issues in population health. It is also our hope that this assessment will stimulate new collaborations among public and private agencies during economically challenging times.
