Coconino County Community Health Needs Assessment

On October 27 our digital Community Health Assessment went live!  We are very excited to share it with you!

This is the website tool we have been discussing for many months. We would love it if you took some time to visit the site, which is linked to our homepage. 

Getting there is a two-step process:

Go to http://www.coconino.az.gov/health.aspx?id=687

Look toward the middle of the page, where you’ll see “YOUR OPINION MATTERS” (along with an introductory blurb about this assessment), then click on the link that says “Click Here to Enter Assessment”

Browse around!  Enjoy the wealth of data and other resources which have been compiled for Coconino County…pay special attention to the DEMOGRAPHICS tab, which has 2011 Claritas data delineated by zip code.   Additionally, the DISPARITIES DASHBOARD has many awesome features like trend analysis and indicators broken down by census tract.  The COMMUNITY DASHBOARD is where you’ll find a ton of information about our population, represented via indicators that are easy-to-understand.  Play around with this site!  There are sooo many useful links, depending upon what your interests are. Use the HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020 TRACKER to see how we measure up to national targets... and so on.

Lastly, PLEASE take the brief survey which you’ll find there!  We intend to capture the perceptions of community members from all walks of life in this part of the assessment, so we are asking you to take a few moments of your time to contribute, as well as to help spread the word: amidst your colleagues, family, friends, and especially clients that your programs serve. 

We are really hoping that this new tool/resource will prove valuable to everyone!  We welcome your feedback; hearing from you will only help us to make this site better.

Feel free to get in touch if you have questions of any kind, or if you have a local report you’d like to add to the REPORT CENTER.  It would be great to hear from you!
