December 19, 2024 – The City of Allentown is launching today its first-ever interactive Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) dashboard. This tool represents a significant milestone in the city’s efforts to promote transparency, engage the community, and strategically address the key health challenges identified through a comprehensive assessment process.

 

This interactive dashboard allows residents, stakeholders, and policymakers to explore critical health issues affecting the City and see how collective input is shaping actionable solutions.

 

Accessible at www.allentownpa.gov/chna, the dashboard allows users to engage with data collected during the CHNA process, including citywide surveys, public health records, and resident feedback.

 

Key Features of the Dashboard

  • Comprehensive Data Access: View and explore data on the key issues identified in the CHNA, including Loneliness & Social Isolation, Stable & Affordable Housing, and Upward Economic Mobility.
  • Transparency: Understand how the CHNA collected and analyzed data.
  • Interactive Visualizations: Engage with user-friendly charts, graphs, and maps that make complex health data easy to interpret.
  • Community Health Improvement Plan: Explore the City’s roadmap for addressing identified health challenges, from small actionable steps to large-scale initiatives.

 

The dashboard will be periodically updated with new data, enabling the City to evaluate progress toward measurable goals, such as improving access to affordable housing, increasing economic mobility, and reducing social isolation.

 

While currently only available in English, the dashboard is designed for user-friendly navigation. Residents are encouraged to explore the platform and see how their input has shaped the City’s health priorities.

 

For questions or feedback, please contact the Allentown Health Bureau at (610) 437-7760.
