Ottawa County Community Member Survey

Welcome

Ottawa County Health Department & Magruder Hospital are conducting a Community Health Needs Assessment to identify and assess the health needs of the community. We are asking community members (those who live and/or work in Ottawa County) to complete this 10 minute survey. This information will help guide us as we consider services and programs that will benefit the community. 

Be assured that this process is completely anonymous - we cannot access your name and your responses will be kept confidential. Your participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and you are free to leave questions unanswered. Thank you for helping us to better serve our community!
