Spartanburg County residents now have the opportunity to take part in the Live Healthy Spartanburg survey, which aims to improve their health and well-being. The survey, which takes about 7-10 minutes to complete, is conducted every three to five years and asks residents about their health needs within their own community.
Questions range from access to healthy foods at grocery stores to affordable options for buying fruits and vegetables on a weekly basis. Residents are also asked about access to areas for physical activity in their community. The input gathered from this survey will help guide officials in making decisions that will positively impact the health of residents in Spartanburg County.
Jalisa Jordan, program manager for Live Healthy Spartanburg, emphasized the importance of community input in this survey. “Community input is vital,” she said. “It allows us to understand the specific needs of our residents and tailor our programs accordingly.”
With over 70 partners, including Access Health Spartanburg, the survey results will help organizations like these create programs that focus on improving health outcomes such as diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol. Access Health Spartanburg, affiliated with Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System, uses data from this survey to develop programs that address these issues and improve overall health outcomes in the county.
The Live Healthy Spartanburg survey will remain open until July 31st, 2024 for Spartanburg County residents only.
