HNC 2030 Scorecard: Forsyth County 2021-2024

The Forsyth County Department of Public Health is pleased to share the Healthy NC 2030 Scorecard for Forsyth County. This Community Health Improvement Scorecard is an easy way to learn about some of the efforts currently underway in Forsyth County to address health priorities identified in the 2021 Forsyth County CHA Report. The 2021 CHA Health Priorities are:

• Infant Mortality
• Infant Mortality Disparity Ratio
• Youth Violence 
• Chronic Disease 
• Behavioral Health (Drug Overdose and Mental Health) 

Forsyth County and its community partners are united in their effort to improve each community health priority. This Scorecard serves as the Forsyth County Department of Public Health’s Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). Thus, it fulfills the NC Local Health Department Accreditation requirement that local health departments must complete two CHIPs following a CHA submission, and that a State of the County Health (SOTCH) Report is due in years that a CHA is not required.  Although all identified health priorities are noted in this document, both CHIPs presented for accreditation requirement are focused on improving maternal and infant health. Forsyth County is on a 4-year CHA cycle.

Icons used to build the scorecard are defined in the table below.
