Community Health Assessment (CHA)

BCPHA recently completed the Public Health Improvement Plan for 2025-2029. This plan contains various health data points that determine where health problems exist and what contributes to those problems. The CHA includes a review of various health indicators that were collected using existing data sets, subject matter expert surveys, and existing resource assessments. Community input and participation were essential to ensure the process was community driven, and results reflected the needs and perspectives of county residents. Combining data and trends with input from local partners, the CHA leads into the development of the Public Health Improvement Plan (PHIP), a community driven plan which identifies key strategies to address the health concerns identified in the CHA. To review the completed plan or if you have questions, please call Baca County Public Health Agency at 719.523.6621.

Our History

Baca County was formed in 1887 when the Colorado Legislature split off the eastern portion of Las Animas County to create the new County. The 1880’s saw rapid population growth in the area that became Baca County and the creation of thirteen towns. Prior to the 1880’s there was little activity in the County other than along the Cutoff Branch of the Santa Fe Trail that crosses the extreme southeastern corner of the County. Baca County is and always has been highly dependent on agriculture.
