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.
