Community Health and Assessments and Priorities

Between 2012 and 2014, nine community health assessments were conducted in the counties of Northwest Florida and nineteen were conducted in the counties of Florida’s Big Bend area.  The purpose of these assessments was to identify the healthcare needs and priorities of the residents of each area.

From these assessments, the Northwest Florida and Big Bend Health Councils prepared two reports.  Each report summarizes the key findings in each area and presents additional data relevant to those findings.  We intend these reports to serve as Technical Support Resources for all stakeholders to promote collaborative efforts and improve the health of all residents of our area.  Please see the attached reports for additional information:

• NORTHWEST FLORIDA COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENTS AND PRIORITIES:  Escambia, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, & Walton Counties

• BIG BEND COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENTS AND PRIORITIES:  Bay, Calhoun, Franklin, Gadsden, Gulf, Holmes, Jackson, Jefferson, Leon, Liberty, Madison, Taylor, Wakulla, and Washington Counties.
