MISSION  - The mission of Person County Health Department is to promote, educate, and protect personal, family, and community health; ensure a safe environment; provide and assure access to healthcare throughout life; prevent and control the incidence and spread of disease; and provide community-based education and information to encourage healthy lifestyle choices.

TAGLINE -  "Promoting, Protecting and Nurturing the Health of Our Community"

VISION STATEMENT - The result of the work of Person County Health Department is a community that is healthy, able to reach its full potential, and supported throughout life, in a safe and clean environment.

Person County Health Department coordinated the 2022 Community Health Assessment (CHA) process with a team of community partners and support from an independent public health consultant. Many hours were spent attending team meetings, collecting primary and secondary data, reviewing data, and setting priorities.  The CHA document, in its entirety, has been uploaded to this Scorecard. It can also be accessed on the Health Department's website by going to www.personcountync.gov (using the Government tab to find the Health Department, then going to the Data and Community Resources link). Hard copies are available from the Health Department upon request.  Additionally, an Executive Summary of the CHA document has been uploaded to the Scorecard. 

Community partners united with Person County Health Department in efforts to support community health improvements to address priorities identified in the CHA. This Scorecard serves as Person 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 of how we are doing linked to Healthy NC2030 indicators.  

• Select Programs or activities to address priorities.

• Key Performance Measures that show how those programs are making an impact.
