Montana’s Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS), with PHIG and CDC support, led a groundbreaking multi-county community health assessment using the innovative CASPER method. Over 80 volunteers conducted door-to-door surveys across five rural counties, gathering essential data to shape local health strategies. This initiative fostered strong community engagement, tested a new CDC approach, and reached key assessment goals. PHIG funding played a pivotal role in supporting communication, volunteer resources, and coordination, accelerating collaboration among local, state, and federal partners to drive lasting improvements in community health outcomes.
