The 2024-2025 MAPP2Health Community Health Assessment is lead by a Core Group of BRHD, Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital, and UVA Health. Together with our partners we are assessing the health of our community through data analysis, surveys, interviews, and focus groups.
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING COMMUNITY HEALTH!
Thank you to everyone across the District who joined our focus groups or one-on-one interviews! So far, we’ve heard from over 170 community members—and we’re not stopping there.
With help from our amazing community partners, we’re aiming to reach 200 participants by the end of the year.
If you live in Albemarle, Charlottesville, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa or Nelson and didn’t get a chance to share your thoughts this fall, there’s still time! We’d love for you to join us in late February and March 2025 as we discuss ideas for tackling the priority health issues highlighted in the 2024 assessment.

OPEN TO RESIDENTS DISTRICTWIDE:
Take Our Community Survey | Conteste nuestra encuesta comunitaria
The Community Survey is one of three ways we gather information from folks in Charlottesville, Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, and Nelson County to determine the District’s health priorities for 2025-2028.
We will share this survey far and wide to help us gather input from as many of the District’s residents as possible. You can share it too! The survey takes 5-7 minutes to complete, and answers are completely anonymous and private.

NELSON COUNTY: Household Survey
As part of the MAPP2Health Community Health Assessment, BRHD interviewed residents in Arrington, Amherst, Faber, Gladstone, Howardsville, Norwood, Schulyer, Shipman, and Wingina from June-August 2024.
These in-person surveys were conducted by our trained Survey Squad. Residents’ addresses were selected for the survey at random. The surveys happened on the front porch and lasted approximately 7 minutes each. Participants received a $25 gift card for completing their survey. The survey was anonymous, confidential, and private. Answers were not shared and only used when combined with all other answers.
BRHD is now analyzing what we’ve learned! 100 Participants shared great insights on what they needed to be healthy. Thank you to all those who participated – your answers will help shape the future of health services in Nelson County!
