Fairfield County Community Health Assessment
Our Community Health Assessment (CHA) helps inform decisions that create solutions that make it easier for people to be healthy in their own communities. Having health insurance and quality health care are important to our health, but many of the other factors that impact our health are linked to healthy behaviors and social determinants of health. Public Health provides leadership and action beyond health care. The Community Health Assessment illustrates what we know when it comes to what’s making people sick or healthy and shows what we can do to create healthier places to live, learn, work and play.
The Fairfield County Health Department (FCHD) and our local public health system partners cooperate to complete a Community Health Assessment report every 3 years utilizing data from a variety of sources including local, state, and national datasets. The 2022 Fairfield County Community Health Assessment full report is available at https://www.myfdh.org/pdf/2022-Fairfield-County-CHA-Report.pdf
FCHD updates this online CHA dashboard annually or more often as new data becomes available.

The Ohio Cancer Incidence Surveillance System (OCISS) at the Ohio Department of Health collects and analyzes cancer incidence data on all Ohio residents. Cancer incidence is defined as newly-diagnosed cases of cancer. All Ohio providers of medical care are required, by law, to report to OCISS all cancers diagnosed and/or treated in Ohio. A reportable case is defined as any primary malignant neoplasm, with the exception of basal and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix. Benign and borderline brain and central nervous system tumors are also reportable. The collection and analysis of population-based cancer incidence data help determine the burden of cancer in Ohio's communities, raise awareness about factors that may increase cancer risk and the benefits of early detection, and improve the survival of persons diagnosed with cancer.
