Participate in the 2018 Community Health Needs Assessment
The Healthy Blair County Coalition (HBCC) is conducting a community health needs assessment. As part of that effort, households are being surveyed to learn more about the strengths and issues in neighborhoods. Three thousand surveys were mailed to a random sampling of households in Blair County. Responses from individual households will remain anonymous. If your household receives a survey, please complete using the instructions provided in the mailing.
Any resident who did not receive a survey in the mail and is interested in completing one can click to complete the survey . In addition, other surveys are being emailed to service providers, associations, key informants and faith-based organizations. The information gathered from the needs assessment will be compiled over the next few months and used by many organizations to improve services and programs throughout Blair County.

If your company is interested in participating in the 2019 Corporate Wellness Challenge, please attend the Orientation Session on Tuesday, November 20, 2018 from 8:00 – 9:00 am at the Blair County Chamber of Commerce.
