The Division of Public Health provides Guilford County health statistics and special reports to staff, county and city agencies, non-profit organizations, the media and county residents. As new data becomes available, the data are compiled into data briefs and special reports.

Guilford County Community Health Assessment

Every four years, the Guilford County Division of Public Health works with the community to conduct the Community Health Assessment or CHA. The CHA process collects and analyzes data on community needs, challenges, resources, and strengths. In addition to reviewing existing health and community data, the Division of Public Health and community partners engage community input through efforts like surveys, community meetings and focus groups.

The Community Health Assessment or CHA is the foundation for improving and promoting community health. The CHA provides valuable information for action planning, policy development, and resource allocation to address identified priorities.  and helps us all understand the story of our community’s health.
