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.
