The 2013 Albemarle Region Community Health Assessment!

Albemarle Regional Health Services (ARHS) and local partners are currently beginning to collect information for community health assessments of Currituck, Camden, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Chowan, Bertie and Gates counties.

Local public health departments are required to conduct community health assessments every four years to meet the requirements for local public health department accreditation. With this new hospital requirement local hospitals and ARHS will actively partner, along with other community members and organizations to complete a CHA in 2013.

We will be posting the results of the 2013 Assessment in May 2013.
