CommunityHealthAssessment_Social_Simple

San Miguel County Public Health is collaborating with the West Central Public Health Partnership to conduct a Community Health Assessment. By completing this short, 10-minute survey, residents can help ensure their feedback is heard surrounding their needs from public health. The survey's goal is to guarantee both the availability and the quality of core public health services to ultimately improve health outcomes.

While responses can remain anonymous, survey participants that provide contact information are automatically entered to receive one of three $100 grocery gift cards.

Environmental Health

Environmental Health is a field of science that studies how the world around us influences human health and disease. This includes the natural environment like air, water, and soil, and also all of the physical, chemical, biological, and social features of our surroundings. San Miguel County administers the County regulations with respect to environmental quality and public health, safety, and welfare. Learn more on the Environmental Health page.

Statement on Structural Inequity

San Miguel County Public Health acknowledges that long-standing systemic racism, including economic and environmental injustice, has created conditions that negatively affect marginalized communities, particularly people of color. These conditions, which limit opportunities for optimal health and influence individual behaviors, are critical predictors of health outcomes. To realize a future where all Coloradans can thrive, we must be leaders in undoing policies and practices that have contributed to these inequities.
