2023 Kitsap Community Health Assessment
Compiled by Kitsap Public Health, this report tells the story of our community’s health using quantitative data (percentages and rates) and qualitative data (community voices from focus groups and interviews) organized into topic chapters. It highlights trends, disparities and gaps as well as community resources and assets.

Additional community assessments
Partner organizations also completed recent community health and needs assessments that have informed our KCHP process.
Data summit & open houses
We hosted a data summit with community organizations and leaders on Sept. 26, 2023, where key findings of the CHA were reviewed. We also invited the public to data open houses in different parts of the county from October through November 2023.
At both the data summit and community data open houses, participants provided input on key findings and health priorities.
