About Us
HARC, Health Assessment Resource Center, in collaboration with community partners conducts a health status assessment every 3 years to provide reliable, objective and valid data.
The Board’s Goal:To identify key health issues and then survey the community to determine disease incidence rates. Meanwhile, HARC’s steering committee, comprised of 35 key community organizations, help guide the survey process through active collaboration. When completed, survey results and in-depth analysis are organized into a comprehensive document that can be accessed by healthcare providers and others focused on public health issues.Health surveys are important sources of information for healthcare policymakers, public health professionals, private providers, insurers, and health care consumers concerned with the planning, implementation, and evaluation of health-related programs and policies. A Community Needs Assessment Has Many Benefits:It increases collaboration with private and public community partners; provides service level data for individual partners; produces a comprehensive regional needs assessment; provides a long-term strategic planning tool that identifies priority areas; supports program development and capacity building; and creates access to an online database of the information collected.
