The 2022 Community Health Survey is anonymous and can be completed online. Survey results will help the Health Department better understand community health needs.
Lake County, Ill. — Today, the Lake County Health Department launched a survey to update its Lake County Community Health Assessment (CHA). Every five years, a new CHA is completed to better understand the health needs of the community and how they can be addressed through the Lake County Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP).
The Health Department is asking residents throughout Lake County to participate in the 2022 Community Health Survey to gather data for the CHA and CHIP. Residents can take the survey and learn more about the process at lakecountyil.gov/yourvoice. “We know that every Lake County resident faces unique health challenges,” said Mark Pfister, Executive Director of the Lake County Health Department. “We are asking all residents 18 and older to take the Community Health Survey to help us guide our Community Health Improvement Plan and to improve health outcomes for all.”
The survey is completely anonymous and can be completed in about 10 minutes. Questions will range from topics like demographics and housing to green spaces and transportation availability.
“We use the data from the Community Health Survey to examine the health status of communities throughout Lake County,” said Megan Franck, Population Health Analytics Manager at the Lake County Health Department. “The data indicates where additional resources might be needed and helps inform our plans for the future.”
The 2022-2027 CHA will be completed later this year and made available as a new, interactive website. Learn more about the CHA and CHIP by reading the previous 2016-2021 Community Health Assessment on the Health Department website.
