Helping the Heartland
We are proud to serve our community beyond providing high-quality and accessible healthcare close to home. Great River Health takes a holistic approach to the health and wellness of our communities by partnering with public health organizations to better understand and meet our community's unique needs, stimulating and sustaining local economies by employing over 2,000 residents, leading numerous volunteering initiatives, offering scholarships and learning opportunities to healthcare students, and giving back financially through the work of our Foundations.
HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT
The Community Health Needs Assessment and Health Improvement Planning (CHNA & HIP) is a result of collaboration and partnership between Great River Health and public health departments to identify the community's greatest unmet healthcare needs.
The collaboration consists of an analysis of community health needs and assets and includes a set of priorities and objectives for taking action. Community participation in making decisions about improving the community’s health and mobilizing support and resources is required as part of this process.
We use these results to create a response to the identified needs, increase access to care, and improve the health of people living in the communities we serve.
