2013 Community Health AssessmentView the Community Health Assessment Plan Summary
The 2013 Clermont County Community Health Assessment was developed as a collaborative process between Clermont County Public Health and numerous public health system partners. This assessment examines multiple indicators throughout our community, providing a snapshot of the health of our county and its residents. Among the health issues included in the assessment are physical activity, diet, substance abuse, and communicable disease, as well as the socioeconomic elements that describe the make-up of our county. The intent of this document is to define our current health status, identify where there are areas of concern and opportunities for improvement, and to monitor health trends over time – all in an effort to make Clermont County a healthy, vibrant, and strong community.
Local Public Health System Assessment
The NPHPSP is a partnership effort to improve the practice of public health and the performance of public health systems. The NPHPSP assessment instruments guide state and local jurisdictions in evaluating their current performance against a set of optimal standards. Through these assessments, responding sites consider the activities of all public health system partners, thus addressing the activities of all public, private and voluntary entities that contribute to public health within the community.
