vii Acknowledgements The Orange County Health Department and Healthy Carolinians of Orange County would like to say thank you to the many individuals and groups for their assistance during the course of the 2015 Community Health Assessment (CHA) process. Whether you answered a survey, volunteered to administer door-to-door surveys, attended a community listening session, was a participant in a focus group, helped spread the word of the process to those in your community or workplace, or responded to a CHA request, this assessment could not have been successful if it were not for you. The goal of this document is to publish a report that is easy to navigate and enables the reader to quickly locate information on a topic of interest. In the electronic version, internal and external links are identified to ease movement through and beyond the document. Internal links are underlined in green font and external links are underlined in blue font. Thank you to the volunteers who conducted the door-to-door CHA surveys and to Care Share Health Alliance for providing technical assistance and facilitation efforts for focus groups during the data collection process. Because of your help, the voices of community members were heard throughout the entire process. The 2015 CHA assessment process and report document was coordinated and compiled by Ashley L.
