HNC 2030 Scorecard: Caswell County

Caswell County’s Healthy North Carolina 2030 scorecard provides an overview of the Community Health Improvement Plans (CHIPs) that address priorities identified by the community in the Community Health Assessment (CHA) process. The most recent CHA is the 2019 CHA which was submitted in February of 2020. The 2019 CHA identified two priorities based on community feedback. These two priorities are structured activities for youth and improved race relations.

In order to address these two priorities, two Community Health Improvement Plans (CHIPs) were developed and submitted in September of 2020. During the summer of 2020, Caswell County Health Department solicited resident and community partner input for community health improvement suggestions and ideas that are presented in various sections of this report, for example, ideas presented in the following sections: the story behind the curve, partners, and what works to do better. The Caswell Chapter of the Health Collaborative and other key partners reviewed the CHIPs since this is a collective effort. These partners also contributed to the selection of strategies to address the priorities. Both CHIPs are long term projects and results will take at least 5-10 years to reflect our work. An annual report, known as the State of the County Health Report (SOTCH), will be included each year to provide brief highlights and information on changes, emerging issues, and CHIP progress. SOTCH reports are not provided in years when the CHA document is provided instead. The next CHA document is expected to be released in 2024.

If you would like to be a part of one or both priority areas, please call the health department at 336-694-4129 or visit the health department webpage at www.caswellnc.us for reports and other information.
