Citrus County residents encouraged to take county health survey

WellFlorida News Release

Citrus County residents are invited to share their views on health and healthcare in their community by taking a 10 to 15 minute survey. The Citrus County Community Health Advisory Partnership (C-CHAP) is conducting the survey beginning on July 6, 2015. Residents’ input will be used to assess Citrus County’s most pressing health needs and to develop a community health improvement plan for the county.

By participating in the survey, residents have the chance to voice their concerns and win a $50 VISA gift card.

To take the survey online go to the web link https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/citrushealth2015.

The survey is available as a pdf, hard copy or online form in English and Spanish. To receive a printed, hard copy version of the survey, call or email Jeff Feller at jfeller@www.wellflorida.org or (352) 313-6500, ext. 108 for information on where you can pick up a printed copy of the survey to complete by hand.

C-CHAP will also be reaching out to healthcare providers and the business community for input into Citrus County’s health needs and plan.

A community health improvement plan (or CHIP) is based on the results of the health needs assessment and provides a long-term plan for developing policies and targeting efforts that promote health. Survey participation is key to prioritizing health issues that impact residents.
