The purpose of community health assessments is to learn about the community: the health of the population, factors that lead to higher health risks or poorer health outcomes of certain groups, and community resources available to improve the health of the community. The purpose of the health improvement plan is to describe how the community will work together to improve the health of the population. The community health improvement plan sets priorities, directs the use of resources, and is a roadmap for the development and implementation of projects, programs, and policies.
The 2024 Vision for our community is: “The Quad Cities region is united as one vibrant, diverse, collaborative community with engaged citizens, safe, thriving neighborhoods, and equitable and inclusive access and opportunities for overall health and social well-being.”
2025 Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP)
After analyzing data from the 2024 Community Health Assessment (CHA), the CHA Stakeholder Committee prioritized mental health and access to healthcare as the main focus areas for the 2025 Community Health Improvement Plan. Committee members considered the scope and severity of the issue and the ability to impact the issue, alongside the quantitative and qualitative focus group data from the CHA when prioritizing these areas. This report includes both short-term and long-term strategies, as well as indicators for tracking progress for each area. This plan will serve as a guide for collaborative efforts in these areas for the next three years in Scott and Rock Island counties.
2024 Community Health Assessment
The 2024 Community Health Assessment has been completed in collaboration with the Scott and Rock Island County Health Departments, Community Health Care, Inc., MercyOne Genesis, UnityPoint Health - Trinity, and the Quad City Health Initiative. Data on health behaviors, outcomes, community resources, and areas for improvement were collected through telephone surveys, secondary data, and focus groups. We invite you to review the report for more information on the health status and needs of our Quad Cities community!
