A Community Health Needs Assessment is a tool used to help communities assess their strengths and weaknesses regarding their overall health. It is also the foundation for improving and promoting the community’s health. The process helps to identify factors affecting the health of a population and determine the availability of resources within the community to adequately address these factors and health needs.

The Community Health Needs Assessment fulfills the requirements set forth by a statute established within the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The statute requires not-for-profit hospitals to conduct a CHNA every three years. This report includes qualitative and quantitative information from local, state, and federal sources. In addition, the input was received from persons representing a broad range of interests in the community, persons with public health knowledge and expertise, and persons serving medically underserved and vulnerable populations.
