2007 Community Health & Needs Assessment
Preliminary Results (Preliminary PowerPoint Presentation)
The Davie County Health Department, Healthy Carolinians and the Davie County United Way joined forces in 2007 to conduct a Community Health and Needs Assessment. This process engaged multiple agencies and organizations as well as community members in identifying and evaluating health and other issues in the county. It resulted in the downloadable document above that can be used as a guide for program planning, policy development, budgets, and other efforts directed at addressing identified community issues.
Community members were surveyed at random within Davie County through the use of hand-held technology and pairs of survey takers who covered the county. In addition, civic groups and agencies providing services, known as Stakeholders, were also interviewed. Interested parties can download a copy of both survey's below:
