Consultation and Technical Assistance
To help grant writers and those involved in community health assessments and initiatives find health data, we have developed the Community Health Assessment Database (CHAD), a web site that provides convenient "one-stop shopping" access to published health assessment data and information about counties in Western North Carolina. Designed to let you develop your own searches for specific information, the site also offers community health profiles summarizing key health indicators for each WNC county.
