Community Health Assessment (CHA)
The El Paso County Community Health Assessment (CHA) provides an in-depth analysis of the overall health status of communities across the county. This report reflects a systematic review of demographic, socioeconomic, and health data to identify the leading public health issues in El Paso County. It examines the complex social, economic, and environmental factors—known as social determinants of health—that influence health outcomes, such as housing, education, income, and access to care. The CHA also highlights disparities across populations and offers valuable context on how systems like the built environment and health care access affect community well-being. The findings from the CHA serve as the foundation for the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP), guiding collective efforts to address key health priorities.
