San Juan County Health & Community Services is proud to release the 2024 Community Health Assessment Report. San Juan County (SJC) partnered with our community to understand health needs, gaps, and existing community strengths. There was focused outreach to include the voices and experiences of our community partner agencies and of our Latinx and Spanish-speaking community.

The information collected during this process identified the top needs our community is facing around health and wellness and will help us plan the actions and services needed to improve health in our community. The last CHA of San Juan County was completed nearly 15 years ago. It was vital for us to collect updated information, especially after the COVID-19 response, to get a full picture of the health and wellness of island residents.

A full version of the CHA is available online here. There are also physical copies of the CHA distributed across the county for reading. To find a location with a physical copy near you, please see the list below or call our front office at 360-378-4474 and we will be glad to assist.

Health & Community Services staff will work with community partners to create a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). The CHIP will identify priority areas of improvement, ways to evaluate our progress, and set a path towards creating a healthier community for all in San Juan County.

If you would like to follow along as this work continues, subscribe to this Engage page so you are notified with any project updates.

The Community Health Survey will remain open and is available to take online in English and Spanish. Even though they will not be reflected in this year’s CHA, your responses are valuable and will be considered as our team moves into the next stages of this project.

Thank you to everyone who shared their experiences with us and made this CHA possible. We are honored by your contributions.

FAQs

What Is a Community Health Assessment? 

Public health uses a Community Health Assessment as one tool to look at the overall health of a community. This is a process that looks at how many organizations, schools, and agencies in a community contribute to the health of their community.

The information collected during this process can identify the top issues a community is facing around health and wellness and help plan the actions and services needed to improve health in our community. 

We Want to Hear from You 

The county-wide survey is one of the most important tools in the Community Health Assessment process. This is a chance to hear from every person residing in San Juan County and get a sense of how they are doing. The survey will include questions about quality of life, access to health care, how people access health-related information, and what are some of the barriers to good health in our county. The more people we hear from, the more complete our picture will be of how San Juan County residents are doing. 

If you live in San Juan County at least part of the time, we invite you to take the Community Survey.  

If you need assistance completing the survey online, please call our mainline at 360-378-4474. A Spanish language survey will be available for our community.

What Happens Next? 

After the Community Health Assessment survey data has been collected, the data will be compiled and analyzed along with other data about our community. The results of the surveys will be published as a final report and will be available to our community in early 2024. 

Health & Community Services staff will work closely with our partners around the islands to use the findings to create a Community Health Improvement Plan. The Community Health Improvement Plan will identify areas of improvement and set a path towards creating a healthier community for all in San Juan County.
