Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA)

As part of the Affordable Care Act of 2010, freestanding non-profit hospitals are required to conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) every three years. The Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) describes the health status of the hospital’s community, and determines the overall health needs of the local populous.

In response to the increased needs and standards in our community, we have analyzed market data, demographic data, socio-economic factors, and health service utilization rates. We also received counsel from community coalitions, boards, partnerships, advisory groups and panels in order to bring you what we think is the best community health needs assessment for our area.

Unmet community health needs have been identified in the following areas:

• Expansions of primary care and specialty services
• Increased collaboration with mental health providers
• An increase in cooperation, communication, and education across communities for major health issues
• Local and regional approaches to emergency medical services

In addition, there are three overarching themes that should be addressed in each priority area:

• Physical healthcare needs
• Behavior healthcare needs
• Re-integration challenges
