Community Data:
A community health assessment is a careful, systematic examination of the health status of the community that is used to identify key health problems and assets in the community. Data from the assessment will inform decision-making, prioritization of health problems and development of plans to improve the health of the community. The success of the CHA is owned and led by members of each community, so that the results accurately reflect the opinions of people who live, work, play, and pray in each community in the Commonwealth.
Community health assessments performed in the Central Shenandoah Health District are linked below:
- Carilion Clinic – Rockbridge Memorial Hospital
- Augusta Health
- Sentara – RMH Medical Center
- Bath Community Hospital (Bath/Highland Counties)

Cycle 4 COVID-19 Vaccine Equity Program (uploaded 08/14/2023, Due 09/15/2023)
The Central Shenandoah Health District (CSHD) sought proposals from a diverse array of community organizations to support strategies that ensure greater equity and access to COVID-19 vaccine for those populations disproportionately affected by COVID-19.
We appreciate the interest shown. One award was made to Shenandoah LGBTQ Center, and we congratulate them on a successful application.
The Cycle 4 COVID-19 Vaccine Equity Program is supported by the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as part of a financial assistance award totaling $77,125,694 to the Virginia Department of Health, with 100 percent funded by the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
