In Our Community
The Gallatin City-County Health Department is conducting a community health assessment. Updates about the process and findings will be available here – check back for updates!
2023-2024 Community Health Assessment
The Community Health Assessment and Community Health Improvement Plan involved a collaborative process to identify and address issues related to health and wellbeing in Gallatin County. The Community Health Assessment is a systematic, data-driven approach to determining health status, behaviors, and needs of residents in Gallatin, Madison, and Park Counties. Information from this assessment is used to inform decisions and guide efforts to improve community health and wellness.
In this process, we looked at key questions such as:
- What are the strengths of our communities?
- What health concerns do county residents have?
- What are the emerging health issues in the county?
- What other resources are needed to address these concerns?
