Public Health Assessment is one of three core functions of public health. Assessment ensures decisions about what we do, where and how we do it are all data driven. Agency wide as well as county and regional partners, use our assessment findings and rely on our help with data compilation, analysis, reporting, and action planning based on assessed needs. The assessment department at GCHD collects internal and external data to determine the impact of public health programs and ensure the community are doing the right things and doing things right.
