Project Background

The 2008 Community Health Assessment is a product of the enthusiastic commitment of the Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnership (MAPP) Stakeholder group, and the coordination efforts of Stanislaus County Health Services Agency/Public Health. Completion of this project demonstrates the synergistic effect of collaboration among Stanislaus County agencies, local hospitals, health plans, and community-based partners.

Mobilizing for Action through
Planning and Partnership (MAPP)

This year’s comprehensive assessment takes into account over 70 social, economic, health and behavioral determinants of health. This assessment is part of an established cycle of surveying that began with the MAPP stakeholders in 2002. The previous Community Health Assessment, completed in 2004, set the visionary groundwork to actively work together for improving the health of our communities.

In keeping with the vision of the partnership, this assessment was conducted through self-administered surveys and secondary data analysis contributed by the partners and through data collected by Applied Survey Research.

We thank the members of the 2008 Community Health Assessment Steering Committee for their leadership and support in making this project possible.
