Community Health Needs Assessments

CHNAs represent far more than regulatory compliance—they’re untapped strategic intelligence opportunities that reveal market gaps, partnership potential, and competitive positioning advantages. Our specialized CHNA methodology transforms mandatory assessments into comprehensive market research that drives organizational growth, value creation, and sustainable competitive differentiation while exceeding all regulatory requirements. Take advantage of this opportunity to turn data into real-world impact and build healthier communities.

What is a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA)?

A Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) is a systematic research process that identifies and prioritizes population health needs through comprehensive data collection and stakeholder engagement. This includes analysis of quantitative data (health statistics, demographics, economic indicators) and qualitative insights (community perspectives, provider input, stakeholder priorities) to create actionable market intelligence.

Strategic Perspective: When executed strategically, CHNAs become powerful business intelligence tools that inform service line development, partnership opportunities, resource allocation, and competitive positioning while satisfying regulatory requirements.
