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.

 

To learn more about the CHIP, which is currently being developed with your help, please visit the CHIP page!

Historically, the CTUIR service area was included in Umatilla and Morrow county’s community health assessment process. However, with the award of Public Health Accreditation in 2020, Yellowhawk has led an independent CHA process in order to get the most accurate reflection of our community.

 

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. The page to the right details the demographics of who responded to the CHA survey, and is a small snippet of the data collected for the 2021 CHA.

If you have direct questions or would like more information about this process, please contact the Public Health Accreditation and Grant Coordinator, Chelsea Hallam, by phone at 541.240.8429 or through email at chelseahallam@yellowhawk.org.
