Introduction & Background: Every three years, the Chatham County Public Health Department, in partnership with the Chatham Health Alliance and Chatham Hospital, conducts a robust Chatham County Community Assessment. During the Community Assessment process, primary (survey and focus group) and secondary data are collected and used to generate a comprehensive report. This information is then used by the Chatham Health Alliance, Chatham Hospital, and Public Health Department, to identify priorities and plan collective action. The Public Health Department leads data collection and report development processes. The Chatham Health Alliance provides support for these efforts and leads prioritization and action planning. Chatham Hospital provides financial and staff support to assist with this process.
