Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA)

Every year, BOB体育 produces a report that looks at the health care needs of our service regions. The report is federally required by the Affordable Care Act. The report gives us a deeper understanding of our community. It helps us to identify and develop efforts to:

  • Address health disparities
  • Improve health outcomes
  • Focus on social determinants of health to improve the health and quality of life of community residents
