Vision
Support the communities of San Miguel County to live better, longer.
Mission Statement
To protect and enhance the health of the people and environment of San Miguel County by identifying and equitably addressing existing and emerging public health needs.
Our 5-year Plan
Every five years, local public health agencies develop a Public Health Improvement Plan (PHIP). A PHIP is the product of a community health assessment, which integrates feedback from community members and various partners to understand current top health issues in each county.
The regional PHIP that is currently in the works (2024-2029) is comprised of two priority areas: Capacity Building and Behavioral Health, with a focus on health equity within each area. View our newest PHIP (2024-2029) here.
San Miguel County Public Health acknowledges that long-standing systemic racism, including economic and environmental injustice, has created conditions that negatively affect marginalized communities, particularly people of color. These conditions, which limit opportunities for optimal health and influence individual behaviors, are critical predictors of health outcomes. To realize a future where all Coloradans can thrive, we must be leaders in undoing policies and practices that have contributed to these inequities.
