"Empowering a Healthier Community" Through Education and Support

As part of the 2024 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), a systematic approach was taken to identify and prioritize the top health concerns in Apache County. This process was guided by survey results, local and national health data, and insights gathered from community outreach efforts.

A weighted matrix was used to rank the identified health issues, incorporating community feedback alongside comparative data. Community input from the survey was prioritized to ensure that the voices of residents were reflected, while national data helped provide context and comparisons to broader health trends.

The following five areas emerged as the most pressing health concerns for the community.

 

Mental & Behavioral Health
