Community Health Needs Assessments

To provide meaningful community benefits, Carle solicits information, ideas and perspectives from the residents of the areas that we serve, including community leaders. Through various forms of research, we develop a community benefit plan. Annually, we report back to the community, relating how we addressed the community health needs identified, having prioritized them for action.

With healthcare reform, this activity by hospitals and healthcare systems is now called the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). Below is the research currently driving our community benefit activities and what will guide our planning and implementation of community benefits.
