A smart community health needs assessment (CHNA) enables public health departments, healthcare organizations and community leaders to do much more than check the box on regulatory requirements.
With the right partner, the right approach, and the right data, the CHNA and implementation strategies are the blueprint to advance health equity and to build more resilient communities for months and years after.
