Community Health Needs Assessment


We are working again on collecting data for our Community Health Needs Assessment. This is our second time working together (Sanford Mayville, Sanford Hillsboro, Traill District Health Unit, and Steele County Public Health) collecting this data. It needs to be done every few years. 

This data is very important so we can see where our priority health needs are, and work together to develop a plan to meet these needs. The more surveys we collect the better! Thank you. Contact Brittany Ness for a paper copy of the survey or have questions.
