The assessment results released this week in the final reports for both counties reflect findings similar to the previous two assessments conducted in 2015 and 2018. The reports serve as the end result of an eight-month process that included a Community Health Survey; review of local, state, and national health comparisons; online Community Conversations with local residents; and meetings with local health coalitions. The assessments were conducted by a partnership including HSHS Sacred Heart and St. Joseph’s hospitals, Marshfield Clinic Health System, Mayo Clinic Health System, United Way of the Greater Chippewa Valley, the Chippewa County Department of Public Health, and Eau Claire City-County Health Department.
