BACKGROUND
The Gaston County Public Health Department was awarded funds from CaroMont Regional Medical Center for the Community Health Assessment (CHA). Gaston County Public Health is required by the NC Division of Public Health to conduct a CHA to assess the health needs of county residents and to meet Accreditation requirements. The CHA is completed by community leaders, residents of low-income neighborhoods, high school students, and a sample of residents in all county municipalities. Gaston DHHS, municipalities, and community agencies use CHA data for planning and to secure grant funding. The funds will be used for expenses to conduct the CHA. These are Non-County funds.
