Community Health Needs Assessments
In Fiscal Year 2025, Piedmont Healthcare hospitals conducted community health needs assessments (CHNAs) in collaboration with community and hospital stakeholders. These assessments, the result of a comprehensive approach involving the analysis of relevant public health and hospital data, aimed to identify and prioritize the community's health needs. Through these efforts, we identified areas where we could have a positive impact on our communities.
A key component of the CHNA was to identify the top health priorities we'll address over the next three fiscal years – 2026, 2027, and 2028. Between April and June 2025, each hospital board reviewed the CHNA findings and approved proposed priorities. This summer, we will work closely with community and hospital partners to identify strategies to address each health priority.
Throughout this work, we strive to achieve greater health equity by mitigating the impact of poverty and other socioeconomic factors. This means we will incorporate activities into each implementation strategy that address social, economic, and/or racial barriers to good health, with an end goal of improving the health of all those in our communities by tackling the social and economic root causes of poor health.
Below are interim CHNA data reports and the approved health priorities. We will publish the complete CHNA reports and subsequent implementation strategies this fall.
