The Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) is completed every three years
in partnership with the Teton County Health Department. This comprehensive
assessment surveys the general health of the community to determine the
health issues that impact local residents most significantly and how we
can help prevent them. The results of this assessment help determine future
services at St. John’s Health.
The CHNA has served as the catalyst for the formation of the community
coalition,
Healthy Teton County (HTC). The results of the CHNA provide a comprehensive overview of the
primary health needs in Teton County, WY. HTC utilizes the Mobilizing
for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) framework developed
by the National Association of County and City Health Officials. Each
iteration of MAPP includes at least three distinct, comprehensive assessments,
multiple community meetings, a quality of life survey of residents, an
examination of existing health data, and consultations with health professionals
and over 30 human service organizations from across Teton County. Once
the most pressing health issues are identified, we then create an implementation
plan to address those issues.
Our completed CHNAs and Implementation Plans illuminate the common issues
faced by Teton County residents, and what you can do to help resolve them
in both your own family and the community as a whole.
Healthy Teton County provides an online resource for individuals, families
and agencies concerned with community health. It provides information
about community health services, laws, and related news, as well as communication
tools and other features. Regardless of where you begin your search for
assistance with community health issues, the Network of Care helps you
find what you need.
