Highland County Community Health Survey
Your Voice Matters, Highland County!
We’re asking ALL Highland County residents age 18 and older to take a few minutes to complete the Highland County Community Health Survey. Your input will help us better understand the health needs in our communities and guide future programs, services, and funding.
The survey is anonymous, takes just 10–15 minutes, and helps shape real changes in local healthcare, mental health services, transportation, and more!
As a thank you, participants can enter to win local gift cards and prizes!
Brought to you by the Highland County Healthcare Collaborative and the Highland County Health Department.
Let’s build a healthier Highland County—together!
