The Wilkes County Health Department is excited to share the Healthy NC 2030 Scorecard for Wilkes County. This Community Health Improvement Scorecard is an easy way to learn about some of the efforts currently underway in Wilkes  County to address three health priorities identified in the 2021 Wilkes County Community Health Assessment (CHA): 

• Obesity/Chronic Disease
• Substance Abuse
• Tobacco

While the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted our community since March 2020, Wilkes County and our community partners are united in our efforts to support community health improvements to address these priorities. This Scorecard also serves as Wilks 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,  
• Indicators or measures are local indicators 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 Wilkes County State of the County Health reports (SOTCH).
