St. Clair County Community Health Needs Assessment

The St. Clair County Health Department is pleased to announce that the 2016 St. Clair County Behavioral Risk Factor Survey (BRFS) and Community Health Needs Assessment Summary (CHNA) are posted on our Statistics and Data page under Community Health Assessment Profiles. This process is completed every 5 years to assess the health of our community. These reports produce comprehensive health data with a purpose to generate a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) and look at future considerations of how/what funding to use for all public and private groups that identify health as a priority area. Our goal is to work together as a community on the plan of action and how the actions will be funded. More information will be shared as the next phase continues.

State, National Public Health Leaders Announce “I Vaccinate”

State and national public health experts, physicians, hospitals, and a private foundation launched the “I Vaccinate” campaign to help parents protect their children from serious vaccine-preventable diseases that still pose a risk in Michigan communities.

I Vaccinate, designed with input from Michigan mothers, provides the facts parents need to make informed decisions about vaccinations. Most parents today have never seen first-hand the devastating consequences that vaccine-preventable diseases have on a child, a family, or community. Vaccination is one of the best ways parents can protect infants, children and teens from 16 potentially harmful diseases.
