Health Assessments

In order to assure we have the best available data, comprehensive health assessments are conducted every four years. In 2010, Health Partners also initiated the first county-wide assessment in the nation of children ages 0-11. Health Partners has long understood the importance of looking at the needs of our most vulnerable population–our children. Data from this assessment and the most recent adult and youth assessment were compiled to release the first Sandusky County Complete Community Health Assessment.
