A Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) is a community-driven data collection effort to identify the strengths, challenges, health priorities, and opportunities to address and improve public health. Every three years, the Kent County Health Department, in collaboration with healthcare and community partners, conducts a CHNA to better understand the current state of health and well-being in Kent County and to hear directly from residents about the issues that matter most to them.
