You talk, we act.
Every 5 years, we step back and ask what the most important health issues and needs are for Pierce County residents. We do this work with many other groups, organizations, and agencies. We look at a wide range of data.
And we listen. Carefully. To lots of you. And, in different ways.
Finally, we share this information and work with our partners to address it.

Previous Community Health Assessment
2019
We heard from many Pierce County residents and organizations as we conducted our 2019 Community Health Assessment. You can read the 2019 Community Health Assessment Executive Summary and 2019 Community Health Assessment full report.
You told us the top five public health issues facing the county were:
- Access to healthcare. Especially mental health and substance abuse services.
- People are dying before their time. Premature death from injuries.
- Access to healthy food.
- Safe, reliable, and affordable housing.
- Ways to get around.
Then, we worked to prioritize these issues. After a community-based process, the top priorities were:
- Healthy neighborhoods.
- Healthy communities.
We used the 2019 Community Health Assessment to guide the 2020–2024 Community Health Improvement Plan.
