2018-2020 Community Health Assessment

Creating a healthy community is a shared responsibility. By working together, we have the potential to create a caring community where all people can live a healthier life. Live Healthy Lane (LHL) brings together Lane County, PeaceHealth Oregon Network, Trillium Community Health Plan, and United Way of Lane County to develop a comprehensive Community Health Improvement Plan (CHP). As part of the development of that plan, Live Healthy Lane conducts a comprehensive Community Health Assessment (CHA). This CHA includes five assessments: Forces of Change, Local Public Health System, Community Themes and Strengths, Care Integration Assessment, and Community Health Status. Follow this link to find the Community Health Status Assessment. In September 2020, the CHA was updated to include the Health Equity Report
