Community Health Assessment
Share Your Voice. Strengthen Our Community.
Across Contra Costa, community partners are coming together to better understand how residents are doing, what helps boost well-being, and what may be making well-being harder to reach. At the heart of this Community Health Assessment is a commitment to ensure voices from across our communities are heard, valued, and reflected in what is shaped, prioritized, and invested in next.
Through Contra Costa Together, we are working as a network to ensure that voices from across our communities are heard and reflected.
Select your language to begin the survey. The survey will be available in 15 languages by May. Please check back often!

Why This Matters
We believe in a future where all people and places are thriving, no exceptions. Reaching that future means looking beyond the numbers to understand what people are facing, what strengths already exist, and where change is needed most.
Data can help show patterns, but community voice helps reveal what is behind them. When we pair lived experience with local, state, and national data, we gain a fuller picture of well-being and the vital conditions shaping daily life across Contra Costa.
Who Is Stewarding This Work?
This Community Health Assessment is being led by Contra Costa Health and shaped in partnership with a Community Health Assessment Planning Team. The team brings together county staff, community-based organizations, health institutions, and community-centered researchers to help guide the process.
Contra Costa Together is supporting this effort by helping connect partners, share the survey, and widen participation across the county—especially among communities whose voices are too often left out.
Together, this work reflects a shared commitment to listening, learning, and using what is heard to help shape what comes next across Contra Costa.
How Contra Costa Together Partners Can Help
Contra Costa Together partners can help ensure this effort reflects the full diversity, experiences, and wisdom of our communities. Your relationships, trust, and reach can help more voices be heard—especially voices that are too often missing from efforts like this.
