Butler County Health Department launches community health needs assessment; survey open through mid‑September
Summary
Health Director Jamie Downes said the county, hospital and mental-health center launched a countywide community health needs assessment (CHNA) survey and urged residents to complete it; the survey will remain open through mid-September and is available via the health department website and social media.
Butler County Health Director Jamie Downes told the commission that a community health needs assessment (CHNA) developed jointly by the health department, the local hospital and the mental-health center is now live and that staff are encouraging broad public participation. Downes said the survey’s QR code was available on materials presented to commissioners and that the survey link is posted on the health department web page and the health department Facebook page. She said the hospital and mental-health center are distributing the survey to their contacts as well. Downes said the survey will be open through mid-September and asked commissioners to complete it and encourage residents to participate so the county can better understand local health needs. Downes also reported back on recent outreach events: the department’s baby-jubilee outreach was well attended, two safe-sleep classes filled, and health-literacy books distributed at the event.
