Rocky Boy's Community health assessment
Community Health Assessment (CHA)
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2015),* a community health assessment (or community health needs assessment) is an initiative that identifies the health needs of a state, tribe, or other territory via systematic data collection and analytical techniques. The community health improvement plan based on the CHA is generally updated every 3-5 years.

In November 2018, the CHEER team collaborated with the Chippewa Cree Wellness Coalition and Rocky Boy Health Clinic to conduct a survey for the community health assessment.
CHEER would like to extend its heartfelt thanks to survey participants. This work would not have been possible without you!
