Tompkins County Whole Health Community Health Assessment 2025-2030
The 2025-2030 Tompkins County Community Health Assessment, produced by Tompkins County Whole Health, provides an integrated, equity-centered understanding of community health grounded in the New York State Prevention Agenda and social drivers of health domains. Guided by the MAPP 2.0 framework, it synthesizes local, state, and federal data with extensive community engagement to examine health conditions across five key domains: Economic Stability, Social and Community Context, Neighborhood and Built Environment, Health Care Access and Quality, and Education Access and Quality. The assessment highlights that health is shaped by social and economic conditions, identifying structural challenges and strong community assets, and serves as the foundation for the future Community Health Improvement Plan to foster a healthier, more equitable future for Tompkins County.
