Becker County Public Health is currently conducting our Community Health Assessment (CHA) survey. Every three years, this survey helps us learn more about the health and well-being of people in our community and identify areas where we can focus our efforts. The survey is open September through November 2026 and takes approximately 8–10 minutes to complete.

We would appreciate your participation! Please feel free to share the survey with others who live or work in Becker County. Survey link.
