2025 Community Health Survey

Shelby County

Our health is more than the individual choices we make. Health is also impacted by such things as safe places to live; quality care for our children or elderly parents; relationships we can count on; and access to a broad range of medical and mental health services.

Before government, schools, businesses, community organizations, and health systems can work to improve opportunities for health, they must first understand the challenges people are experiencing. That is the purpose of this survey.

Every three years, hospitals are required to complete a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). This survey is part of the CHNA for Major Health Partners and Shelby County. Your answers to the survey are entirely anonymous.

If you live, work, learn or gather in Shelby County, your experiences and observations are valuable. Survey responses will help determine the Community Health Improvement Plan for the next 3 years.

Thank you for taking a few minutes to complete the 2025 Community Health Survey.
