The 2021 Community Health Needs Assessment Report has been published by Healthy Teton County and is now available online. Healthy Teton County determined the top community primary health behaviors and conditions for 2021 to be mental health, alcohol use, chronic disease/cancer screenings, immunizations, sexual/reproductive health, and nicotine use.
Data was obtained from the Centers for Disease Control, the Wyoming Department of Health, County Health Rankings, and Network of Care. The top social needs/social determinants of health identified in the 2021 report are housing, income inequality, access to health care, and food insecurity.
To solve the community’s deficiencies in these areas, Public Health Director Jodie Pond says, “They are best addressed by bringing together nontraditional partners.” The 2021 Community Health Implementation Plan that outlines the goals and strategies for addressing each identified issue will be available by the end of 2021.
