Take *This* Survey to Help Shape the Future of Health in Our Communities

The Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) wants to know: What health issues matter most in your community? Access to care? Mental health? Clean air and water? Safe neighborhoods? 


The department is inviting residents to share their perspectives through its Community Health Assessment, a countywide effort to better understand the health concerns, challenges, and opportunities facing communities across Allegheny County. 


The anonymous survey is open to all Allegheny County residents age 18 and older and takes about 15 minutes to complete. 


“The feedback gathered will help guide future health initiatives, investments, and community partnerships designed to improve health and well-being across the county. The survey will also help shape the next Plan for a Healthier Allegheny, the county's roadmap for addressing community health priorities,” ACHD said in a press release.


"Public health works best when it is informed by the people we serve," ACHD Director Dr. Iulia Vann said. "Every resident has a unique perspective on what helps their community thrive and what challenges stand in the way of good health. This survey is an opportunity for people to share their experiences, elevate the issues that matter most to them, and help shape a healthier future for Allegheny County." 


The Community Health Assessment is part of a broader effort to hear directly from residents and ensure community voices are reflected in decisions that affect health, quality of life, and well-being throughout Allegheny County. The results will be used alongside other community data to identify priorities and guide future action. 


How to Participate: 

GASP joins ACHD in encouraging residents from every neighborhood, borough, township, and municipality to participate. The more voices represented, the better the county can understand community needs and work together to build healthier communities for everyone.
