The Western Tidewater Health District (WTHD) will conduct door-to-door surveys as part of its 2025 Community Health Assessment to better understand and serve the health needs of the community.

Health department staff will visit Southampton County and Franklin City on July 8, 2025, followed by Isle of Wight County and Suffolk City on July 10, 2025. Public health professionals will carry identification and informational flyers about the survey.

“Our goal is to hear directly from residents about the most important health challenges they face,” said Angela Tillery, Western Tidewater District Health Director. “The results of this assessment will guide the planning and programs over the next few years to ensure they reflect the needs of the whole community.”

The survey will ask residents about their experiences, access to care, health concerns, and barriers to good health. Responses are confidential and will help identify key health issues and inform future initiatives and funding priorities.

Participation is voluntary, and residents are encouraged to complete the survey when a team visits their home.

“This effort is about making sure every voice is heard—especially in communities where access to traditional resources may be limited,” said Dylan Evans, Local Health Emergency Coordinator.
