Southside Community Health Assessment

   

We are excited to be launching our 2024 Community Health Assessment! The results of these surveys help us select areas of weakness in our communities and plan ways to help improve the health and wellbeing of our district.

The Southside Health District & Sentara Healthcare would like to learn more about what you need to be healthy. Please complete the surveys linked in the appropriate flyer above or the correct link below. You must be over 18 to complete the survey.

Long Covid Study

We are excited to be joining the expanded Long Covid Study initially launched by the Central Virginia Health District! The Central Virginia Health District began a Long COVID surveillance project in October of 2023 that is now available to all residents of Southwest Virginia. This includes the health districts of Alleghany/Roanoke, Central Virginia, Cumberland/Plateau, Lenowisco, Mount Rogers,
New River, Pittsylvania/Danville, Southside, and West Piedmont.

The goal of this project is to better understand how Long COVID affects the residents of rural Virginia, assess the quality of support participants have received, and identify Long COVID resource needs.

If you are interested in enrolling in the study, visit https://redcap.link/virginialongcovidstudy or you can call our team at (434) 713-5199.

It is important to remain vigilant in COVID-19 prevention. Continue to protect yourself and others: get vaccinated and wash your hands, if cannot get vaccinated: wear a mask and stay at least six feet away from others.
