Clear Creek County completed a community health assessment in 2022 which led to the public health team determining priority areas in need of improvement in the county.

As part of CHIP for the next ve years, the county is looking to address youth and adult mental health and substance abuse, air pollution, expanding health care options and connecting people with resources.

Some of the data from the assessment was gathered from school surveys in 2021, where harrowing details of the mental health reality in Clear Creek were revealed.

According to the report, 39% of e report goes on to drop statistics detailing Clear Creek residents having higher instances of heart disease compared to the rest of Colorado, as well as lack of access to large grocery stores and reliable transportation.

Clear Creek middle school students who responded to the survey considered suicide in 2021, compared with 17% of Colorado Middle School students in the same year. Countywide in 2021, there were 83.8 hospitalizations per 100,000 people related to suicide attempts in comparison to a state average of 52 per 100,000.

Weather Observations for Georgetown, Colorado

Week of February 20, 2023

A local National Weather Service volunteer observer makes temperature and precipitation observations each day at about 8 a.m. at the Georgetown Weather Station. Wind observations are made at Georgetown Lake. “Max” and “Min” temperatures are from digital displays of a “MMTS” (“Maximum/Minimum Temperature System”); “Mean daily” temperature is the calculated average of the max and min. “Total Precipitation” is inches of rainfall plus melted snow. “Snowfall” is inches of snow that accumulated during the preceding 24 hours. T = Trace of precipitation. NR = Not Reported. “Peak wind gust at Georgetown Lake” is the velocity in miles per hour and the time of the maximum wind gust that occurred during the 24 hours preceding the observation time. Historic data are based on the period of record for which statistical data have been compiled (about 54 years within the period 1893-2022). Any weather records noted are based on a comparison of the observed value with the historical data set.
