Cumberland County Community Health Needs 2024 Assessment now available to community

By Staff Report, posted 1 month ago

The Cumberland County Department of Public Health (CCDPH) has released the 2024 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). The report, conducted every three years, provides information on health priorities identified for Cumberland County.

The Community Health Needs Assessment highlights morbidity and mortality rates of leading health issues and newly emergent issues within Cumberland County communities. The CHNA also identifies priorities that public health partners, including Cape Fear Valley Hospital, will address for the next three years.

CHNA Priority Issues

The 2024 CHNA identified three main health issues in the community based on a community survey, secondary data, focus groups and stakeholder input.

  • Physical Health - Chronic diseases, obesity, exercise and physical movement and vaping/tobacco use
  • Behavioral Health - Substance use (drugs, alcohol and opioid misuse) and mental health
  • Maternal and Child Health - Maternal and infant mortality

These identified health priorities support the Healthy North Carolina 2030 objective to build a healthier future for all.

Through Health ENC, collaborative efforts between health departments and hospitals in eastern North Carolina, primary and secondary data was collected to produce a comprehensive Regional Community Health Needs Assessment that meets requirements for North Carolina Local Health Department Accreditation.

The 2024 Community Health Assessment Report can be found online. Printed copies will be available at all Cumberland County libraries, CCDPH and other local agencies.
