Tribal Community Health Assessment
Yellowhawk cares about the health and wellness of our community! To get a better picture of the needs of our community, and to help us plan for the next five years, we are asking every person ages 18+ to fill out one of our Community Health Assessments (CHA). Please help us by filling out the survey and spreading the word!
It is estimated that it will take 40-60 minutes to complete the survey—however, everyone who takes the survey is eligible for a $25 gift card (while supplies last) and will be entered into a raffle with 3 grand prizes and 17 smaller prizes. The survey will ask personal health questions—we assure you that the information will remain confidential and will not be individualized.
The CTUIR is one of only a handful of Tribes that conduct our own Community Health Assessment. Help us continue this important work so that we may plan for our futures and see our growth along the way.
500
Our goal is to get at least 500 participants for the 2026 Tribal Community Health Assessment!
What is the Community Health Assessment?
Community health assessments (CHAs) identify key health needs and issues through systematic, comprehensive data collection and analysis.
Every 3-5 years, Yellowhawk gathers input and data from the community about our health and wellness needs. The shared data is then collected into a Community Health Assessment (CHA), which allows for organizations and individuals within the community to get a large and broad view of the key health needs and issues we face.
After the CHA is completed, Yellowhawk then begins to develop a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) in response to the needs of our community, and to attempt to address the roots of our health issues in partnership with other vital Tribal and community organizations. Together, the CHA and CHIP represent a dedicated and community-based effort to achieve optimal health.
Our most recent CHA was completed in December of 2022 (though the data was collected in the summer of 2021), and 414 individuals participated in the survey.
