Community Health Needs Assessment

Barton Health’s commitment to our community's health is an integral part of our mission. Each year we are proud to invest in community health programs and partner with local organizations to identify and address the unmet needs of a medically underserved population in South Lake Tahoe.

The Community Health Needs Assessment is a comprehensive report that highlights South Lake Tahoe’s most pressing health needs. It is based on data collected from community surveys, input from local service agencies, and national data. The top three issues identified in every assessment has been mental health, substance abuse, and access to care.

Assessment

Barton Health collects public health data every three years, through phone surveys and online surveys, to help identify the major health gaps throughout South Lake Tahoe. This data is used to help Barton Health identify areas of opportunity and improvement for our local population, as well as foster partnerships to help meet the outstanding medical needs of our community.
