How satisfied are you with the quality of life in our county? What contributes to the health of your community? What causes the biggest health challenges?
These are among the questions asked in a survey that seeks to understand how Kitsap residents feel about the overall health of their community and ways it could be improved. Results of the Kitsap Community Health Priorities (KCHP) community survey will be combined with health data to develop a set of priorities that can be addressed by work groups.
All Kitsap residents are invited to take part in the survey, which will remain open through Sept. 29. Survey responses are completely anonymous.
What is KCHP?
KCHP is a comprehensive health improvement process supported by CHI Franciscan, Holly Ridge Center, Kaiser Permanente, Kitsap Community Foundation, Kitsap Community Resources, Kitsap County Human Services, Kitsap Mental Health Services, Kitsap Public Health District, Olympic Educational Service District, Peninsula Community Health Services, the Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe, the Suquamish Tribe and United Way of Kitsap County.
KCHP previously completed assessments in 2011 and 2014. The 2014 assessment identified four community health priorities: Adverse childhood experiences (ACES); behavioral health care access; affordable housing; and obesity prevention/reduction.
