HNC 2030 Scorecard: Columbus County 2019-2023

The Columbus County Health Department is excited to share the Healthy NC 2030 Scorecard for Columbus County. This Community Health Improvement Scorecard is an easy way to learn about some of the efforts currently underway in Columbus County to address two health priorities identified in the 2019 Columbus County Community Health Assessment (CHA): 

• Chronic Disease and Obesity
• Drug Abuse 
• COVID-19

While our community has been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic since March 2020, Columbus County and our community partners are united in our efforts to support community health improvements to address these priorities. This Scorecard also serves as Columbus County’s Community Health Improvement Plans (CHIPs), fulfilling the NC Local Health Department Accreditation requirement that local health departments submit two CHIPs following the CHA submission.  

For each priority, this Scorecard spotlights: 

• A Result Statement, a picture of where we would like to be,  
• Important local Indicators or measures of how we are doing linked to Healthy NC2030 indicators and  
• Select Programs or activities and
• Key Performance Measures that show how those programs are making an impact. 

The Scorecard also contains the annual Columbus County State of the County Health reports (SOTCH).
