Regional Health Assessment & Data
Regional Health Assessment (RHA)
The Regional Health Assessment provides a comprehensive point-in-time snapshot of health across Central Oregon.
Produced every five years, the RHA analyzes demographic trends, health conditions, disparities, and social drivers of health to identify strengths, gaps, and emerging needs.
What the RHA Includes
- Demographics and population trends
- Chronic disease and health conditions
- Behavioral health and substance use
- Housing and transportation access
- Social and economic drivers of health
- Environmental health factors
This analysis provides a clear picture of where the region is thriving — and where focused effort is needed.
