This document outlines the results of a community health needs assessment conducted in the Borah Quadrant area. It identifies community strengths and areas for improvement across five sectors: community at large, health care, community organizations, worksites, and schools. For each sector, assets and needs are identified for issues like physical activity, nutrition, tobacco use, chronic disease management, and leadership. Short and long-term recommendations are provided. Action plans will be created for the community at large and schools sectors. The next steps are to thank the participants and address any questions.
