My first connection with the Orange County Health Department was as the data analyst for the 2011 Community Health Assessment, where I ran analyses on the primary collection survey data, produced report pages, reported out to the community and facilitated conversations with residents about those findings. Through those conversations and a democratic prioritization process, Orange County decided on three priorities for 2011-2015: (1) Child and Family Obesity, (2) Substance Abuse & Mental Health, and (3) Access to Care.
You can read the final report, the executive summary, and Nidhi Sachedeva’s fantastic presentation of our findings at the Healthy Carolinians Annual Meeting on the Orange County Health Department’s statistics and publications page.
