Colorado STRIDES, a program of the Colorado Rural Health Center, has recently been spending some time in rural communities and holding meetings to assess the health and healthcare of the area. Check out this article in the Glenwood Springs-Post Independent about the results of Garfield County's SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) Analysis: Your community health care input, by Kay Vasilakis. The analysis is the Community Action Plan, which will be created at the next meeting, scheduled for November.
If your community is interested in working with Colorado STRIDES, contact Clint Cresawn, at ccr@coruralhealth.org or 720.248.2745.
