Altru has engaged multiple partners to conduct our Community Health Assessments,
which provide information on health issues, status, and needs and identify
areas for improvement. The purpose of the assessments has been to “Improve
the overall health of the community by focusing on factors that promote
health and wellness (versus treating disease).” The Community Health
Assessment is a joint effort led by Altru Health System and the Grand
Forks Public Health Department. Our two organizations have a history of
collaboration to improve community health.

work provides the backbone for our Community Health Improvement Plan &
Implementation Strategy Report.
The reports included here will be used by healthcare providers, public
health officials, policymakers, area organizations, community groups and
individuals who are interested in improving the health status of the community.
The results of our data analysis, focus groups and surveys enable organizations
to strategically establish areas of focus, develop intervention, and commit
resources.
