The Mobile County Health Department is celebrating National Public Health Week (April 6-12) with this year’s theme being “Ready. Set.

The Mobile County Health Department in partnership with the Alabama Department of Public Health have a goal of serving the people of Alabama with the highest quality service possible. As part of this goal, we need your assistance with implementing the 2026 Community Health Opinions Survey.

This survey is part of the State Health Assessment that ADPH will utilize to identify the health issues and challenges in our communities. Knowing what our communities consider the most important issues will help the department serve all communities better in the future.

Your Voice Matters! We need your input on the health issues and challenges in your local community. Your feedback will help us gather data to better serve your community in the future. Please complete the survey at https://survey.sogolytics.com/r/LJjwdU by June 1.
