Community Health Assessment

A Community Health Assessment (CHA) is an assessment that identifies health needs and issues through data collection and analysis.  In other words – what is our community in need of and how can Kearney County Health Services assist in obtaining those services or resources.  The Community Health Assessment was developed by a planning committee that included participation from approximately 20 Kearney County Stakeholders.  The report documents the participant’s observations, insights, and collect work products since the Health Assessment started.  The Health Assessment is available for viewing here:
