A new user-friendly website was launched to help raise awareness about health data in St. Clair County along with a new campaign to reach those who may be unaware of its existence. The data provided is collected from the St. Clair County Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), with the St. Clair County Health Department playing a key role in overseeing the process.
The website, Healthy St. Clair County (healthyscc.org), highlights the 2021 CHNA, featuring information such as addressing childhood trauma, as well as the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) which provides the community with action steps when addressing priority health areas.
The CHIP process takes place every five years to stay updated on overall health changes seen in the community. Local residents may see billboard advertisements, or receive information in the mail, as well as other methods of spreading awareness of the new data.
The goal is to improve the health of St. Clair County residents by providing a one-stop-shop to the latest data provided by CHNA.
