“The importance of the Community Health Needs Assessment cannot be
understated. We are constantly looking for ways to increase access and
provide the services people need locally. Hearing from the community helps
us to direct our resources to the areas that will have the greatest impact.”
Jason Amrich, Gunnison Valley Health CEO
Based on input from local experts and county residents, the 2022 assessment
identified the top ten health and community needs as: mental health, healthcare
affordability, affordable housing, substance abuse, a livable wage, cancer,
women’s health, employment and income, access to childcare and preventative
healthcare services.
Gunnison Valley Health has developed an implementation plan for the top
six health needs identified in the survey. The plan identifies ways to
effectively meet the need and ensure the community has the ability access
services and resources locally to support their health and well-being.
