About Us
The goal of Healthy Delmarva’s partners is to improve the health and wellbeing of the communities we serve. We provide a one-stop resource online to access community health data and resources for Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester counties in Maryland and Sussex County in Delaware. You will find up-to-date demographic information; data about social risk factors; hundreds of maps, tables, and figures; promising practices, and more.
TidalHealth, Somerset County Health Department, and Wicomico County Health Department partner to develop a Community Health Needs Assessment for Maryland’s Lower Eastern Shore counties – Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester - and Sussex County in Southern Delaware. This report is completed every three years to identify health issues according to available population health statistics and data gathered through focus groups, surveys, and interviews.
Experts from each organization review the statistics and leading health needs identified by residents to determine what areas we should focus on to improve the health of the community. The priority areas are:
Access and Health Equity
Behavioral Health
Chronic Disease and Wellness
The purpose of this website is to share data, including progress toward a community health improvement plan, with the communities we serve. We provide best practices and resources to help our community partners develop programs and services that best meet the needs of our residents.
We will continue to update this site as our initiatives develop and partnerships grow. Please check back again!
