Local Community Well-being &
Needs Highlights
From 2024 Snohomish County PIHC Health and Well-being Monitor.
See the full 2024 summary report.
This year Physical Health continues to be the most impactful indicator on our county’s overall well-being score. The drivers of physical health continue to be multi-dimensional, touching many areas of well-being. Findings showed that the state of our mental/emotional health most influenced physical health ratings. Other indicators of well-being that played a significant role were sense of financial security, opportunities to access medical care health information and the quality of our relationships Not surprisingly, results also showed that exercise greatly impacts our physical health.
For more information see the full 2024 summary report.

Seasonal Hazards
Hazardous winter weather including snow and ice can lead to an increase in slips and falls. One of the best ways to prevent falls in the winter is to wear shoes or boots that have good traction and grip.
- Avoid wearing shoes that are smooth, flat, or have heels.
- Look for footwear with rubber or neoprene soles or have cleats or spikes that can dig into the ice. You can also buy slip-resistant attachments that fit over your shoes, such as microspikes, crampons or ice grippers.
- Make sure your footwear fits well and is comfortable. If you have to wear dress shoes for work or an event, carry them with you and change into them indoors.
Walk like a penguin.
- Another tip to prevent falls in the winter is to take a cue from penguins and walk carefully and slowly on slippery surfaces.
