2024 Community Needs Assessment Survey

Blair County Community Health Needs Assessment

To build a healthier community in Blair County, we are conducting a Household Survey in collaboration with community partners to learn more about strengths and issues in neighborhoods and households. Everyone’s feedback will help improve all aspects of a healthy Blair County (e.g. social, economic, physical, emotional, etc.). Your responses will be combined with others providing us with information on what is most important so our work groups can develop programs and activities that are most beneficial.

We would like an adult (18 years of age or older) in your household to complete this survey as soon as possible, but no later than August 1, 2024. We are not tracking who completed the survey and there is no way to identify you or your household.

When you are completing this survey:
Community refers to your municipality, township, borough, or city.
Household includes you and members of your family and others living in your house.

Thank you for your support in making this a better community.
