Every five years, Greene County Public Health assures a community-wide process takes place to identify the most important factors affecting the health of residents and to plan strategies to build on strengths and work on gaps.
Greene County Public Health encourages each resident to provide feedback about what they feel are health concerns via use of a simple survey. Based on the results of the survey, Greene County Public Health researches data related to the identified issues, and then facilitates the collaboration of community partners to assist with developing a Health Improvement Plan (HIP) to attain the common goal of a healthier Greene County. The HIP is updated annually to ensure that progress continues.
