Tri-County Surveys to Identify Community Health Needs

Dixie, Gilchrist and Levy County residents, community-based organizations, social service providers and healthcare professionals are invited to take a 10-minute survey to help identify the region’s most pressing health concerns. The Community Health Needs Assessment Survey is being conducted by local health planning council WellFlorida Council, in partnership with Florida Department of Health.

The community survey for residents at least 18 years old is available in English and Spanish. Six community survey participants have the opportunity to win $50. Providers of health-related services are encouraged to take the provider survey. Both surveys are available until August 3, 2022 and can be accessed on WellFlorida’s website at SURVEYS.

Survey results, along with local health data, will be used to develop a Community Health Needs Assessment for the tri-county area. This report, to be released in Winter 2022, will identify the most pressing health issues in the region and serve as a tool for community leaders to take actions towards a healthier community.
