Program Description
Session Description:
A provision in the ACA requires that nonprofit hospitals conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) and develop a corresponding Implementation Strategy every three years with input from community members and public health professionals. With funding from Healthcare Georgia Foundation, Georgia Watch reviewed the initial CHNAs and available Implementation Strategies for 38 nonprofit hospital facilities in Georgia. In this session, Georgia Watch will present findings from this research and give audience members ideas for evaluating nonprofit hospital CHNAs within their own communities, engaging with hospitals in the CHNA process, and helping local hospitals develop impactful community benefit programs.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the session, audience members should be better equipped to:
- Evaluate the adequacy of nonprofit hospital CHNAs within their own communities.
- Engage with hospitals in the CHNA process.
- Encourage their local hospitals to develop impactful community benefit programs.
