Public input sought to help shape future health priorities
ASTORIA, OR — Clatsop County Public Health, Columbia Memorial Hospital, and Providence Seaside Hospital are working together to better understand the strengths, needs and challenges impacting health and well-being in our communities.
As part of the 2025 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), the public are invited to share their perspectives through a brief online assessment open now through June 30, 2025.
The assessment takes a few minutes to complete and offers participants a chance to win a $100 Amazon gift card. Responses are anonymous and will help inform local strategies, services and policies that support a healthier Clatsop County.

"This is a very important chance for residents to share ideas around health, housing, getting health care, mental health, substance use, and other things that affect their daily lives,” said Jill Quackenbush, Clatsop County Public Health Deputy Director.
The survey is just the first step in the CHNA process. The full assessment will also include interviews with community leaders, focus groups and an analysis of local health data to create a comprehensive picture of community health.
