Background: As a new CHN for the zip code identified in DQ 2.1, you are very interested in evaluating health-related data. In your quest for zip-code specific information, a good place to start is the county health department. Be advised, data mining can be challenging. For example, the main campus of the BSHP is in Bexar County. There is not a Bexar County Health Department rather there is a Metropolitan Health District that publishes zip-code specific health data. There is also a Bexar County Health Collaborative that publishes a community assessment. Spend some time exploring your zip code from the standpoint of health. You might have to be a bit of a detective to find that data.Note: your area may have either a health department or Metropolitan Health District. It is the county in most states that maintains the health data, not the city as a general rule.DQ: This DQ has two parts Identify/list your zip code Report poverty level of zip code Based on morbidity and mortality in the zip code, as the new CHN, what would be your top three health-related priorities?
