Community Health Assessment

A community health assessment is a process by which community members gain an understanding of the health, concerns, and health care systems of the community by identifying, collecting, analyzing, and disseminating information on community assets, strengths, resources, and needs. A community health assessment usually culminates in a report or a presentation that includes information about the health of the community as it is today and about the community’s capacity to improve the lives of residents. A community health assessment can provide the basis for discussion and action.
