Canton City Public Health recognizes that several factors contribute to disparties in health outcomes for our neighbors. These issues are a community priority and CCPH plans to address several, including:

• Available data shows that, in the Canton/Massillon area, the number of recreation and fitness facilities available has decreased by 13% (link).
• Studies suggest that those with limited-English proficiency have significantly worse access to care and health outcomes compared to those that only speak English (link)
• The number of STI cases in Canton continues to rise year over year (link)
