About the Community Health Assessment
In 2019, Mecklenburg County Public Health joined Novant Health, Atrium Health and ONE Charlotte Health Alliance to produce a jointly-aligned Community Health Assessment (CHA). This first joint assessment is a refresh of the assessment conducted in 2017-2018 that allows all entities to now operate on the same assessment schedule and timeline. While existing data were updated and new information added, the prioritization of health priorities remain the same. Those priorities will be revisited in 2020. Formerly carried out every four years, the Mecklenburg Community Health Assessment will now move to a three-year cycle to allow the health systems and Public Health to conduct a joint assessment. The next full community health assessment will be in 2022.
The top 4 issues identified in the CHA prioritization process were:
-
Mental Health
-
Access to Care
-
Chronic Disease Prevention
-
Violence Prevention
