The Community Health Assessment (CHA) is a snapshot in time of the health of a community — in this case, Ulster County, New York, 2024. These findings help the Ulster County Department of Health set its agenda for the next five years as we work towards improving health and reducing health disparities so that all Ulster County residents can live a healthy, vibrant life.
This year, we are publishing the CHA as an online “story map” for the very first time. Each section of the CHA is rich with data, both in narrative form and in charts, graphs, and maps. We hope presenting the CHA in this format will encourage Ulster County residents to explore this data, as we all have a role to play in public health.
The "Population" section will tell you about who Ulster County is, while the other sections will tell you about the health of our community through the social determinants of health, chronic diseases, communicable diseases, and more.
