Uniting us towards a healthier Frederick County

2025 CHNA Report Now Available
The Coalition for a Healthier Frederick County, Frederick County Health Department, and Frederick Health are thrilled to announce that the final 2025 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) report has been published.
We sincerely thank each and every person who contributed to the development of the CHNA. Whether you served on the CHNA Steering Committee, participated in the community survey, or attended the January Public Input Session, we could not have done it without you.
Current Priorities
These priorities were selected through a robust assessment process with substantial community input within the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) process. Now, health partners collaborate with members of our community in one of our three Health Improvement Planning Workgroups and turn ideas into action.
Adverse Childhood Experiences in Adolescents
Raising awareness about the impact of toxic stress on children and families and promoting systems that build healthy brains and reduce the effects of toxic stress
Type 2 Diabetes
Broadening awareness of type 2 diabetes amongst community members and the medical community to make it easier to prevent and manage this chronic illness
Mental Health
Helping the community understand that “mental health” is “health,” because mental health disorders are common, treatable, and in many cases, preventable
