Community Health Needs Assessment: A community approach to better health.

Learn more by viewing our FAQ below!

What is a community health assessment?

Everyone wants to be healthy. Some of us aren’t. This project will measure how healthy we are, what health conditions we suffer from, and the root causes of those health problems.

Where will the information come from?

We will use a variety of data sources, including surveys, vital records, program and facility data, as well as interviews and focus groups.

Why should community members be involved?

Community involvement is vital for an effective health assessment and improvement project. Community members are needed to prioritize the health needs in their community.

How will this improve health?

Once we know what the priority health needs are (and what the root causes of those problems are) we will develop a plan to fix the problems. Hospitals, health departments, and other community organizations will use the plan to target their efforts based on what the community decides are the most important health problems. By all of us moving in the same direction, we will maximize our impact on important health problems.

Why are we doing this now?

Hospitals have a new mandate under the health reform law to conduct a ‘community health needs assessment’ every three years, starting in 2012. Local health departments have a long tradition of health assessment and improvement activities, and those who are seeking national accreditation must conduct assessments and develop improvement plans, so partnering together just makes sense in these times of scare resources.

What geographic area does this project cover?

The Capital Counties project includes Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties. People in the capital area share a central urban area, media market, and health and human services providers.

CHNA and H!CC – Invaluable Relationships

Eaton Rapids Medical Center (ERMC) found that the process of completing the CHNA with H!CC has been invaluable. It has fostered long-term collaboration with other organizations and enabled the strategic use of time and resources to achieve meaningful health improvements in the community.
