Wake County Government’s Health and Human Services, in partnership with United Way of the Greater Triangle, NC Institute for Public Health, WakeMed, Duke Raleigh Hospital, Rex Healthcare and Wake Health Services, is conducting a community health assessment by surveying Wake County residents. Going door-to-door in Wake County, residents will be asked their opinions on the most pressing health needs in our community.

The survey will ask questions about health behaviors, access to healthcare and disaster preparedness among other things. The goal is to identify factors that affect the health of the county’s population and to determine the availability of resources within the community to adequately address these factors. The survey is conducted every three years.

All surveyors will carry an identification name badge to help residents identify those who are authorized to perform the survey before answering any questions. Surveyors will be in neighborhoods on Feb. 8, 9, 15 and 16 from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.

People interested in volunteering to be a surveyor must attend a training session on either Feb. 8 or 15 at Wake County’s Community Service Center, 401 E. Whitaker Mill Road, Raleigh from 8:30 a.m. until 11 a.m. To register for a training session, please email your name and phone number to lwilliamson@unitedwaytriangle.org .
