Needs Assessment (CHNA) is a systematic, data driven

approach to determining health status, behaviors and

the areas of greatest health need in the local community.

It provides information so the health issues of greatest

concern can be identified, and resources allocated.

Areas of opportunity were determined following the

review of national benchmark data, number of residents

affected and the potential impact on community health

and wellness.

Diabetes. Diabetes occurs when

the body cannot produce or respond

appropriately to insulin. Diabetes lowers

life expectancy, increases the risk of heart

disease and is the leading cause of kidney

failure. The rate of diabetes continues to

proven effective in preventing or delaying

onset in high-risk individuals.

Mental Health13.9% of SAW adults report having been diagnosed with diabetes.

Physical Activity. Regular physical activity can improve the health

and quality of life of Americans, as well as lower the risk of chronic diseases. Adults

should do two hours and 30 minutes a week or moderate-intensity (such as walking)

or one hour and 15 minutes a week of vigorous intensity aerobic physical activity (such

as jogging). The guidelines also recommend that all adults do muscle-strengthening

activities (such as push-ups) on two or more days per week. Children and adolescents

should do 60 minutes or more of physical activity each day.

19.1% of SAW adults find it “very” or “somewhat” difficult to access affordable, fresh fruits and vegetables.

Prevention and Health Promotion supports

the health benefits of eating a healthful diet

and maintaining a healthy body weight.

It provides information so the health issues of greatest

concern can be identified, and resources allocated.
