Nonprofit hospitals across the nation are required to complete community health needs assessments (CHNAs) every three years. CHNAs involve identifying the health needs of the hospital’s community and creating strategies to address the prioritized needs. By engaging patients and community members throughout the process, CHNA developers obtain valuable insights that otherwise could be missed, get increased community buy-in, and can develop and implement more effective programs to improve community health.
