Public participation and strategic planning
Read about strategic initiatives and progress report to meet health care needs in our community and opportunities for public participation in strategic planning. NMC’s strategic planning is shaped by our Community Health Needs Assessment, and we are constantly working to address the priorities identified by that assessment.
Community Health Needs Assessment
The Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) is a federally mandated process for hospitals to undertake every 3 years to gain a comprehensive understanding of the community’s health needs and assess our population’s concerns about their health and the community’s health and then adopt an implementation strategy to address the identified needs. “Section 501(r)(3)(A) requires a hospital organization to conduct a community health needs assessment (CHNA) every three years and to adopt an implementation strategy to meet the community health needs identified through the CHNA.”
