Community Health Needs Assessment - University of Chicago Medical Center
The University of Chicago Medicine conducts a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) on a regular basis and develops a strategic implementation plan to improve the health of residents in our 12-ZIP code primary service area. The Community Health Needs Assessments provide a systematic, data-driven approach to determining the health status, behaviors and needs of resident in our commuity benefit primary service area.
University of Chicago Medical Center Community Health Needs Assessment & Strategic Implementation Plan
Required by the Affordable Care Act, a Community Health Needs Assessment enables communities to identify issues of greatest concern and decide how to allocate resources to address those issues, thereby making the greatest possible impact on community health status.
Paper copies of the Community Health Needs Assessments can be found in the Urban Health Initiative office. To provide comments and feedback on the Community Health Needs Assessment or to receive copies of any of these reports, please email uch-communitybenefit@uchicagomedicine.org.
