The Health Improvement Alliance leads a process called the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) to assess the health needs of the community. This process is conducted as part of a larger goal of measurably improving the health and well-being of its residents. Understanding the current health status of the community through the CHNA process identifies priorities for future planning and funding.
The Health Improvement Alliance recently completed the community health needs assessment in 2022. This included the development of comprehensive Community Health Improvement Plans (CHIP) to address the major unmet needs in the region. The four focus areas that were chosen are: Access to Care, Behavioral Health, Child Wellbeing, and Healthy Lifestyles. Each focus area has its own task force that meets on a monthly basis. Each task force has developed a CHIP which will be worked on from 2022-2025. The 2025 CHNA process is underway, and a new report will be published here in the coming months.
For the full 2022 CHNA report, see below or visit 2022 HIA Community Health Needs Assessment Report.
