Macomb County issued the following announcement on Oct. 5.
Healthy Macomb, a partnership between the Macomb County Health Department (MCHD) and over 20 organizations and agencies in Macomb County, has launched a county-wide survey to hear the needs and priorities of community members. The Macomb County Community Health Survey will help MCHD and its community partners identify and address the most important health concerns in the county.
Everyone who lives, works, and plays in Macomb County is encouraged to complete the survey at bit.ly/healthymacomb. The survey takes 5–10 minutes to complete and is available in English, Spanish, and Arabic. By taking the survey, community members throughout Macomb County have the opportunity to tell county organizations how to make Macomb County a healthier place for their families and their communities.
The COVID-19 pandemic has only increased the importance of hearing from community members in Macomb County about their health needs. Survey questions ask respondents how they have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in addition to other important health issues.
The Macomb County Community Health Survey is part of the 2020 Community Health Assessment (CHA), a process that aims to understand the greater health and well-being of Macomb County. The first CHA in Macomb County was completed in 2016. Healthy Macomb organizations will continue to gather community member input in the coming months, with the goal of completing the CHA in early 2021.
