Here’s how we can work together on a CHNA:

• Data Collection: We’ll collaborate to gather both quantitative and qualitative data, exploring everything from disease prevalence to healthcare access. This may involve surveys, focus groups, and public health analysis tailored to your community.

• Identifying Health Priorities: Using the data, we’ll join forces to identify the most pressing health issues, whether they relate to chronic diseases, mental health challenges, or barriers to accessing care.

• Community Involvement: We value the insights of local voices. By engaging community members, we ensure that our solutions are not only relevant but also tailored to your unique needs.

• Action Plan Development: With the insights gathered from the CHNA, we’ll collaborate to create a strategic action plan aimed at enhancing health outcomes and reducing disparities.

• Evaluation and Reporting: Together, we’ll compile our findings into a comprehensive report that will guide future health interventions and resource allocation.

Many U.S. nonprofit hospitals are required by the Affordable Care Act to conduct a CHNA every three years to maintain their tax-exempt status.
