NashvilleHealth and Metro Health Department Release New Community Health Survey

Community partners recently gathered for the release of the Nashville Community Health + Well-Being Survey, the first countywide assessment in nearly 20 years.

Survey findings offer a deep dive into numerous key metrics that inform essential health and well-being activities across the city, including access to health care, barriers to care, chronic health conditions, health behaviors and more. This first-of-its-kind, large-scale assessment was mailed to more than 12,000 Davidson County households.
