Community Health Assessment

The Washtenaw County Health Department is pleased to present the 2023 Washtenaw County Community Health Assessment (CHA). This assessment is conducted every five years. The CHA is a process that uses quantitative and qualitative methods to systematically collect and analyze health data within our community. Health data include information on risk factors, quality of life, social determinants of health, health inequities, mortality, morbidity, and community assets.  

This assessment includes a brief description of our community’s demographics. It also includes the process and methods used to obtain, analyze, and synthesize primary and secondary data and identify the significant health needs in the community. Special attention has been given to the needs of higher risk and underserved populations, unmet health needs or gaps in services, and input from the community. Findings from the CHA will be used to identify and develop strategies to improve health in Washtenaw.
