2007-2008 Healthy Community Checkup
Our Healthy Community CheckupProject is the periodic update of our Needs Assessment. We have updated our original survey of Human Service Needs, we have updated and developed a Community Demographic Profile, and our new component will be the development of Healthy Community Indicators.
With the help of human service agencies and key community contacts, HHHS completed a Human Services Needs Assessment in 2003. This needs assessment survey and the information compiled from the new database on actual human services, provided the first comprehensive look at the human service needs on Bainbridge Island.
Even before the needs assessment was completed, HHHS realized that the assessment was only the beginning of our community’s commitment to ensuring access to needed human services. The Needs Assessment’s value went beyond identifying service gaps; it also laid the groundwork for devising strategies to address the identified needs. Between November 2003 and May 2004, over 70 volunteer community members and others were involved in the important work of moving from assessment to action.
