The Chickahominy Health District (CHD) is excited to announce an upcoming Community Health Input Session designed to gather valuable feedback and ideas from Goochland County community members, while sharing recently collected health indicators. This event will take place on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the County Administration Building, Conference Room 250. We encourage all community members to attend, review updated information, and ask questions. 

The Community Input Session aims to discuss health topics affecting our community with a focus on how well we live and how long we live. Participants will: 1) learn how Goochland County is doing in several community health areas; 2) be asked to provide their perspectives on health topics; and 3) be asked to prioritize health issues that should be addressed over the next five years. 

“The best insights and solutions come from the people who live, work, play, and worship in our community,” said Emily Hines, Population Health Planning and Improvement Coordinator for the Chickahominy Health District. 

Door prizes and light snacks will be provided for participants. After the Community Input Session, there will be an optional focus group. Gift cards will be provided to those who participate in the focus group (while supplies last). 

For more information about the Community Input Session, please contact Emily Hines at 804-382-6159 or email: CHDWellness@vdh.virginia.gov. The results of the Community Input Session will be included in the 2024 Goochland County Health Assessment report, which will be available on CHD’s website later this year. We look forward to seeing you there and hearing your valuable input!
