The Hernando County Health Care Advisory Board (HCHCAB) is appointed and charged by the Hernando County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) with monitoring the health needs of the county’s residents and making recommendations about how to meet those needs. Board members include volunteers who are appointed by the BOCC and represent healthcare consumers; healthcare providers, including physicians, dentists and nurse; mental health services; community health organizations; hospitals and the health department. This needs assessment has been developed by the HCHCAB as a way to fulfill its obligation to the county and its residents to provide a basis for focusing the attention of the BOCC and the community on special health issues over the next five years. Additionally, the 2006 Community Health Needs Assessment represents a continuing commitment by the BOCC and the community that began with the creation of the HCHCAB and has now resulted in an ongoing health needs assessment process.
