The Florida Department of Health in Flagler County (FDOH-Flagler), the Florida Department of Health in Volusia County (FDOH-Volusia), AdventHealth, Halifax Health, Flagler Cares, Inc., One Voice for Volusia, and the Health Planning Council of Northeast Florida, Inc. (HPCNEF) have joined forces to conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment for Flagler and Volusia counties for 2024.
This health assessment is the second collaborative effort across both counties. Every three years, tax-exempt hospitals and county health departments in Florida are required to conduct CHNAs and develop improvement plans to address specific opportunities for improved community health. The last cross-county CHNA was conducted in 2022.
“We’re excited to be partnering on such an important assessment,” says Susan Grich, HPCNEF President and CEO. “We hope that all Flagler and Volusia residents will take advantage of this opportunity to have their voices heard.”
If you live in Flagler County or Volusia County, you are encouraged to complete the survey. Local business owners, educators, and community-based organizations are also encouraged to share the survey with staff, partners, volunteers, family, and friends. The survey is also available in Spanish.
The survey will remain open until July 31, 2024. Survey responses are confidential and anonymous.
