Community Health Needs Assessment
The Community Health Assessment is a systematic, data-driven approach to determining the health status, behaviors and needs of residents in the Omaha metropolitan area, including Douglas, Sarpy, Cass and Pottawattamie counties. Subsequently, this information may be used to inform decisions and guide efforts to improve community health and wellness.
The Community Health Assessment identifies opportunities and challenges for government agencies, community organizations, and healthcare providers to modify policy to improve the health and quality of life in the Metro Area.
Child & Adolescent Health Needs Assessment
The Child and Adolescent Health Needs Assessment evaluates local health data to identify critical needs and disparities facing children, adolescents, and families in our region. This vital assessment guides local public health strategies and resource allocation to ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive.
Conducted in close collaboration with Children's Nebraska and regional public health partners across Douglas, Sarpy, Cass, and Pottawattamie counties, this report drives our shared commitment to community wellness.
