Community Health Needs Assessment
Yellowstone County's Community Health Needs Assessment
Every 3 years, the healthcare Alliance of Billings Clinic, Intermountain Health St. Vincent Regional Hospital, and RiverStone Health conducts a comprehensive community health needs assessment (CHNA) for Yellowstone County. This “wellness check” serves as an important tool for determining how we can best work together to improve our community’s health. The Alliance began collaborating on this important assessment back in 2005, and we now have 7 cycles spanning 20 years of data to inform our collaborative work. The CHNA is available to anyone who is interested in learning about our community’s health status, health behaviors, and biggest needs for improvement.
Opportunities for involvement in the CHNA process will be shared on the HBD Facebook and Instagram page, website, and in our monthly e-newsletter.
This assessment is comprehensive, but data gaps remain. If you have any relevant data you would like to share as part of our current CHNA or upcoming CHNA process, please let us know!
