Current Health Priorities

In 2021, residents prioritized drug use, mental health, and alcohol misuse as the top three health issues through the Community Health Assessment (CHA) process. In addition to working on these top three health priorities, the Eau Claire Healthy Alliance focuses on chronic disease prevention and healthy relationship promotion.
