Community Health Assessments: Building Healthier Communities Together
At Western Plains Public Health, we are committed to improving the health and well-being of everyone in our community. One of the most important tools we use to achieve this goal is the Community Health Assessment (CHA).
What Is a Community Health Assessment?
A Community Health Assessment is a comprehensive process that evaluates the health status, needs, and challenges facing a community. CHAs provide a clear picture of the health challenges and opportunities within our community. Through this process, we collect and analyze data about factors that influence health, including:
- Chronic disease prevalence
- Access to healthcare
- Environmental conditions
- Social and economic factors
- Community assets and resources
Our Collaborative Approach
CHAs are made possible through strong partnerships with area hospitals, community organizations, and other stakeholders. Together, we combine local knowledge and data-driven insights to create a well-rounded understanding of the community's health.
We also prioritize engaging directly with residents through surveys, focus groups, and public forums. Your voice matters and is a vital part of shaping the future of health in our community.
