The Community Healthcare Coalition of Greater Prince William (CHCGPW) is working on a community health assessment (CHA) to learn about the health of our community. Information is collected about what health problems are affecting community members, what services are available, and what needs to improve. We get this information from health data, surveys, and community conversations.

By having community members tell us what they need, we can work to create programs and services that make our community healthier.

We are looking for community members to lead conversations in the community!
