Get Healthy Idaho Assessment

​

In early 2019, the Get Healthy Idaho planning committee, consisting of division leaders and data owners, convened to reflect on the previous statewide health assessment and population health improvement plan (2015-2019) and to strategize the framework, process and priority identification for the 2020-2024 plan. The Community Health Assessment Toolkit, from the Association for Community Health Improvement, was identified as an ideal model for the 2020-2024 Get Healthy Idaho initiative, as it “offers a nine-step pathway for conducting a CHA and developing implementation strategies”. This pathway guides and supports a community health assessment process, with community engagement as a central priority built into each step.

​

The 2023 update to the GHI Health Improvement Plan includes strategies focused on improving our statewide health priorities of diabetes, obesity, behavioral health and unintentional injury as well as cross-cutting and emerging strategies with an equity focus.
