County crunches the numbers

The results of recent survey conducted by Wahkiakum Health and Human Services discussed in an Eagle article last week were released online on Monday and can be viewed by clicking on a link found on the WHHS website at http://www.co.wahkiakum.wa.us/604/Wahkiakum-County-Community-Health-Assess.

The report lists the top 10 issues, but also crunches the numbers on demographics, breaking down which issues were most important to each group. It provides a list of write-in issues, discusses the health department’s efforts to reach communities in the county to increase participation, and how the whole process works.

The survey was the first step in a creating a Community Health Improvement Plan, which will eventually address those issues.
