2019 Mendocino County Community Health Survey

How healthy are Mendocino County residents? How would you rate the quality of life in Mendocino County? Do you and your family have what you need to be healthy? The answers to these questions and more are used by Healthy Mendocino to prioritize the most important issues to address to make Mendocino County a healthier place to live.

Every three years Healthy Mendocino, in collaboration with Mendocino County Health and Human Services (HHSA), the Adventist Health Hospitals (AHUV & AHHM), FIRST 5 Mendocino, North Coast Opportunities, Redwood Coast Medical Services, Redwood Quality Management Company, and community health clinics conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). The CHNA is a process of assessing and responding to the health needs of Mendocino County residents.

A key element to the CHNA is to gather input from Mendocino County residents through a confidential Community Health Survey. The purpose of the survey is to gather information on what community members feel about the county’s health and their individual health and well-being. This information will be used by the CHNA Partners to identify the most important problems that can be addressed through community action.

The 2016 Community Survey was completed by 1,486 individuals with 84 of these completed in Spanish. We would like to increase this number to 3,000!

All community members are encouraged to share their opinions! We need to hear from as many people as possible, from all sectors of the population, and all regions of the county. The survey is available in English and Spanish and will take approximately 10 minutes to complete on line in Survey Monkey in English and Spanish.   

Please share this information to your place of work, neighbors, friends, family members, and any one else you have access to.
