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 2012 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.
