We've Got The County Covered

Look for your Community Health Assessment in the mail

Blaine County Health Department

Press Release: 12/13/2014

The Blaine County Health Department in conjunction with local health related stakeholders is conducting a Blaine County Health Assessment. The purpose of the assessment is to collect current, relevant data to guide future health programs and interventions that are geared toward the needs and desires of Blaine County Residents.

The most recent Health Assessment was conducted by an out-of-county entity in 2012. Of over 300 assessments mailed to selected households, only 40 assessments were returned. Unfortunately, this data was of very limited value.

The current Assessment will be sent to over 3,000 known mailing addresses in Blaine County. Your participation would be greatly appreciated, and only requires a few minutes to fill out and return the assessment in the pre-paid postage envelope provided. Please take this opportunity to let us know your opinions of what you currently like, what you would like to see improved, or something that is needed that is not being addressed in both the public and private health sectors serving Blaine County.

The Assessments are scheduled to be mailed out on or near December 16th, 2016. We would appreciate responses returned by December 31st, 2016. All responses will remain anonymous. Our only tracking ability will be the color coded postal zip-code on each envelope, which will allow us to group each by geographic location of the county.

Funding for the Community Health Assessment is being provided through a grant by the Montana Healthcare Foundation.
