HNC 2030 Scorecard: Henderson County (2024-2026)

The Henderson County Department of Public Health's mission is "to promote, protect, and advance the health and wellness of our community". In collaboration with WNC Healthy Impact, and numerous community partners, the Department of Public Health completes a Community Health Assessment (CHA) every three years. The CHA is an important part of improving and promoting the health of county residents. 

The following Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) Scorecard fulfills the NC Local Health Department requirements that local health departments complete at least two action plans following the submission of Henderson County's 2024 Community Health Assessment (CHA). It is an easy way to learn more about some of the efforts currently underway in the community to address the identified health priorities:

• Mental Health
• Housing
• Chronic Disease
