Healthy Tri-County Community Survey
Healthy Tri-County is a multi-sector regional initiative to improve health outcomes in Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties of South Carolina. Every three years they do a community survey, interviews and focus groups to obtain data which forms the basis of a community needs assessment. This assessment is used to guide Healthy Tri-County and it's partners in decisions made about health programming in our tri-county region. We encourage you to take the survey and urge others to do so. A link to survey as well as additional information can be found at https://healthytricounty.com/tri-county-community-health-needs-assessment. More Information HERE...
