At Healthier Together Airdrie, our vision is to foster an inclusive, connected, and healthy community where everyone feels they belong. To help achieve this, we invited residents to share their feedback on the team’s identified priorities and provide suggestions for making Airdrie healthier and more connected through a survey questionnaire.
From July 1 to 31, we conducted a survey through Google Forms, reaching out via our networks, the Healthier Together Airdrie website, and the City of Airdrie’s social media platforms. We received an impressive 433 responses from Airdrie residents!
While we recognized the community’s call for a hospital in Airdrie, our initiative focused on non-clinical, preventative health measures aimed at enhancing community well-being. However, feedback on the hospital could still be included in the responses.
Our main goal with the survey is to support our team in defining our project objectives and evaluating resident data for feasibility, sustainability, and overall impact.
