The county Office of Public Health has worked with 15 community partners around the county to identify top priorities.

"Concerns like stress, mental health, and wellbeing, and ability to navigate health systems were some of the health priorities identified," Christina Miller, Administrator for the Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services Office of Public Health, said in a statement. "Data from the surveys will help us understand our residents’ perspectives and experiences in each of these priority areas.”

Results of the survey, which asks questions about quality of life, health behaviors, community resources, and environmental conditions, will be made available to the public. Officials hope to use the survey to help create a long-term health plan.
