If you live in Alachua County or Marion County, please take a few minutes to complete a survey that will help UF Health and other local health care partners better understand and meet the long-term health needs of the community.

The Alachua County Community Health Needs Assessment and the Marion County Community Health Needs Assessment (two separate surveys) will provide us with a snapshot of our communities’ overall health: It helps determine the effectiveness and efficiency of health care and identifies factors affecting the population that need attention to improve health.

The survey is available until March 2. Go to news.my.shands.org and search for “community survey.”

Your input is crucial to UF Health, the Florida Department of Health in Alachua County and in Marion County, the WellFlorida Council and other health systems and programs. Adults 18 and over can participate. It only takes 20 minutes to complete the survey and individual responses and personal information will remain confidential. General results and analyses will be available to the public.

At the end of this survey, participants can enter a drawing to win one of 10 $30 Walmart gift cards. Please complete this survey only once. Completing it multiple times will not increase your chances of winning.
