The St Joseph County Health Assessment is a survey of County residents. This survey focuses on strengths, household challenges and issues, as well as perception of needs in the area.

Your opinion is valuable. In an effort to plan for future health related needs, this survey is open for any resident, over 18 years of age, to complete and is sent to specific individuals to assure a variety of perspectives will be obtained.

We estimate this survey to take between 10 and 15 minutes and hope you will make time to share your thoughts about important health needs. Be assured you cannot be identified by responding to this survey. Any personal information will be included only in aggregate to establish demographic group trends.

In about three months both Three Rivers Health and Sturgis Hospital will publish the results of this and other data collection efforts, along with anticipated responses to identified needs. It will be available for free by any interested individual.

Please encourage others in the community to participate in this study.

Should you have questions about this survey, please contact administration at either hospital.
