A survey was sent to Stakeholders using the SWOT process of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats.

General feedback regarding CCH and the Public Health Department included:
Strengths:
Opportunities:
3) Create sustainable programs. 4) Increase birthing opportunities - for example "free standing birth centers." 5) Can long term care be made available? 6) Need more health services in the South Suburbs - population not dense but covers a wide area – therefore, it is not easy to get to CCH health care sites. 7) Increased emphasis on the fact that "housing is health care". 8) Role out a #988 phone number for crisis calls. 9) Incorporate "peer support groups" into county services particularly for addition and Mental health. Weakness/Potential Threats:
3) Medicaid application process for immigrants. 4) Turnover of nursing staff. It was stated by a speaker that 50% of the current nursing staff is from outside contractors. 5) Length of time needed to fill positions - particularly nursing. Observer: Diane Edmundson
