Summary

Tara Blackley, Health Director for the Lord Fairfax Health District, presented the tri‑annual Community Health Assessment to the Page County Board of Supervisors on Jan. 20, 2026. The assessment uses the MAPP 2.0 model and identifies improving access to health and wellness services, increasing access to affordable healthy foods, access to housing, and mental health support as the county’s highest priorities.

The presentation did not include an explicit funding request; no Board action was taken at this meeting beyond receiving the assessment.
