Check Your Mail for Your Health Survey Invitation and Help Identify the Needs of Your Neighborhood

The Live Well Lake County Steering Committee and Lake County Health Department and Community Health Center are asking Lake County residents who received an invitation letter regarding a health survey to respond as soon as possible, so that information can be used to help identify health needs in their neighborhood. This survey will guide community health improvement plans and support better health outcomes for all county residents.

During the first week of September, invitation letters were sent to 5,000 randomly selected households in the county. Questions included in this anonymous survey address key health priorities including traditional priorities such as chronic disease. Emerging health topics such as mental health, access to care, and substance use are also included.

Just one adult (18 years or older) with the most recent birthday from each selected household is asked to respond to the invitation via an online form or by calling a toll-free number. Whether using the phone or online option, respondents should be able to complete the survey in 20 minutes or less. Results of the survey will be made available on the Health Department's website in its Community Health Status Assessment early next year. Any questions or requests for assistance may be directed to Seth Kidder, Assessment and Planning Coordinator, Lake County Health Department at: HealthAssessment
