Perry County Health Coalition

In 2022, we joined with the Perry County Health Coalition to commission a health assessment of leading factors influencing health conditions in Perry County. Led by faculty from Dickinson College, the findings are drawn from focus groups and quantitative data analyses. The report documents how access to basic health services in Perry County has remained stagnant or worsened in the past 10 years. The 2022 Executive Summary & Call to Action (Complete Assessment also available) makes five major recommendations for forward progress. A prior assessment conducted in 2015, Executive Summary- Perry Health Market Analysis, provided a host of practical steps to improve the availability of health services in Perry County.
