Trenton Health & Well-Being Priorities
The 2019 Community Health Needs and Assets Assessment identified the top health needs in the Trenton community. By identifying issues here, our goal is to highlight the underlying “system” challenges behind the needs so that our community can overcome them through coordinated and collaborative efforts.
We have used a holistic approach to assess the health and well-being in the Trenton community, considering both quantitative and qualitative data from various survey tools, publicly available and proprietary data sets, as well as direct resident input obtained at community forums in diverse settings.
Reflecting this complex understanding of the inter-connectedness of social and health needs, the needs prioritized in this report include both social and health concerns, recognizing and emphasizing that health needs are inextricably linked to and impacted by social conditions in Trenton. The priorities are a synthesis of the voice of the community, local agencies and experts, and publicly available data.
