The development of the Community Health and Needs Assessment (CHNA), the Community Health Improvement Plan, the Minority Health Plan are the work of many community partners and community members, in collaboration with the Florida Department of Health in Charlotte County. We would like to acknowledge the hard work of those who attended our planning meetings and were vital in making these plans possible.

Healthy Charlotte is effective because of the strong partnerships we have in the community and our ability and willingness to share resources. Thank you for your continuous hard work and collaboration.
