Input Wanted from Lewis County Residents for Health
Improvement Survey
 Lewis County
Public Health (LCPH) wants to know what Lewis County residents think about
health in our community as we develop our next health improvement plan. For
this reason, we have released a community health survey that is open to
every Lewis County resident aged 18 and older. The survey can be accessed
at surveymonkey.com/r/LCHIP2022 or by scanning
the QR code located to the right and at the bottom of the page. The survey
link will also be shared on lewiscountypublichealth.com and our Facebook
page.
LCPH partners
with the North Country Health Compass Partners and Fort Drum Regional
Health Planning Organization (FDRHPO) to routinely complete an adult
community health survey (via phone) that is used to inform our Community
Health Assessment (CHA) and Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). The
CHIP is a 3-year plan that is then implemented by LCPH staff with the
support of community partners. Priorities addressed in previous plans
include “Prevent Chronic Disease”, “Promote Healthy Women, Infants, and
Children” and “Promote Well-Being and Prevent Mental and Substance Use
Disorders”. The hope of this health improvement survey is that it will
complement the results of the adult community health survey and provide
additional insight into our community’s unmet health needs.
The survey
addresses topics including community health, access to care, food security
& healthy eating, physical activity, mental & emotional health, chronic
conditions, disability, caregiving, and COVID-19. The survey takes about
7-10 minutes, and can be completed on any mobile device, desktop, or laptop
computer, or call 315-376-5453 during business hours, Monday – Friday, 8:30
am – 4:30 pm and staff will help callers complete the survey. Community
members can also stop by the LCPH booth at the Lewis County Fair, Tuesday,
July 19 – Friday, July 22 from 11 am – 7 pm to complete the survey with the
assistance of LCPH staff.
LCPH is committed
to promoting and protecting the health of our community. While multiple
data sources will be considered during our CHA/CHIP planning process, the
feedback we receive in this survey will be invaluable. We would like to
thank Lewis County residents in advance for responding to the survey and
providing us with their honest feedback. We look forward to reviewing the
results, sharing the results, and then using the results to better serve our
community.
