Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN) is pleased to present our 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) Health Profile. This report includes data and information about Carbon County and defines “community” as all residents living within the county. Within the communities LVHN serves, the CHNA reports place a greater emphasis on individuals who are experiencing health disparities or who are at risk for negative health outcomes as a result of social and environmental factors influencing their health. The CHNA Health Profile examines factors that impact the health and wellness of the community. This includes social and environmental factors such as employment, education and air quality; individual behaviors like smoking or healthy eating; and the quality and availability of health care in the area. When taken together, this serves as an important overview of the current state of health in our region and identifies potential areas of concern that Lehigh Valley Health Network can work to address. It includes secondary data from publicly available state and local sources such as the Centers for Disease Control and the Census Bureau. This data is used to identify the top health and social needs in our community and is then validated through community meetings and interviews with residents (primary data). The 2022 LVHN CHNA Health Profile is broken out into a number of subsections, including Demographics, Social and Economic Factors, Health Behaviors, and Health Outcomes. In addition, two types of call-out boxes are incorporated throughout the report. The first summarizes data presented on that page, providing easy-to-read summary statements. The second highlights findings from the community meetings and interviews.
