Cook County Department of Public Health Launches Annual Health Survey to Assess and Improve Community Health
Bridgeview, IL — Cook County Department of Public Health (CCDPH) today began distributing its annual Suburban Cook County Health survey to better understand the health status, needs and challenges facing local communities.
An invitation to take the survey is being mailed to 32,000 randomly selected households in two waves between January and April. Invited adults age 18 and older can complete the survey online or through a paper survey. Survey responses are confidential and not personally identifiable. The survey is available in both English and Spanish.
Results from the survey will help public health officials develop data-driven programs and policies aimed at improving health outcomes and reducing health disparities across suburban Cook County.
“The health survey gives us an opportunity to hear from suburban Cook County residents,” said Dr. Kiran Joshi, chief operating officer of Cook County Department of Public Health. “We strongly encourage those who receive the survey to participate so that we can advocate for policies and build programs that improve health in suburban Cook County communities.”
