In an effort to gauge the overall health needs of the community, Tioga Medical Center and Upper Missouri District Health Unit are surveying area residents from November 6 to approximately November 30. Results of the survey will provide guidance on ways to improve community health and provide better services. The survey is part of a community health needs assessment initiated by the healthcare facilities. They are receiving assistance in conducting the assessment from the Center for Rural Health at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences.
The survey will allow the organizations to learn about community health concerns, learn of the community’s perceptions about local health care services being provided, hear suggestions to improve health in the area, learn about community assets and collaboration, and determine preferences for using local health care versus traveling to other facilities. In addition to specific questions, the survey also seeks general, open-ended input from residents about the community’s health needs and the delivery of local health care. Completing the survey takes about 20 to 25 minutes. The survey closes November 30.
