What is the Health Equity Alliance of Rock County?

The Health Equity Alliance of Rock County (HEAR) is a multi-sector collaboration that aims to reduce health disparities and inequities in the community. HEAR members include representatives from local health systems, community-based organizations, non-profits, government agencies, school districts, libraries, churches, and more.

What do we do?

HEAR helps guide the Community Health Assessment (CHA) and Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) reports and implements strategies to meet the goals set forth in the CHIP.

Community Conversations and CHA Survey

There will be a series of upcoming Community Conversations and a comprehensive Survey as part of Rock County’s 2024 CHA. The purpose of these assessments is to understand the current health needs of those who work, live, and play here and to help identify how and where we can improve the health of our community. This assessment is not just a snapshot, it’s a roadmap to better health outcomes for our residents. 

Residents can attend in-person Community Conversations at locations around the county. 

Those who are not able to dedicate time and attend a Community Conversation are encouraged to complete an online survey available in both English and Spanish. This short survey should take approximately five minutes to complete and asks about both personal health and community health. The responses collected from this survey are confidential and give valuable insight into what community members are experiencing and how they feel about their health.

If you have any issues accessing the online survey, please call RCPH for accommodations: (608) 757-5440. For additional information, please e-mail the HEAR Coordinator: hearcoordinator@co.rock.wi.us
