Community Needs Assessment

Compass Now is a joint effort between Great Rivers United Way, area healthcare organizations, and county health departments to improve the quality of life for everyone in our shared communities.

Compass Now is a review of community needs in the Great Rivers Region. The Compass Now Report provides valuable information and presents the results of data collected through a community survey, focus groups, an extensive review of socio-economic indicators, and an inventory of community resources. The purpose of the Compass Now Report is to serve as a reference tool and foundation for action plans that solve problems long term.
