ACHI releases enhanced community health assessment toolkit

The AHA’s Association for Community Health Improvement has updated its Community Health Assessment Toolkit to offer a nine-step pathway to a robust and community-engaged health assessment process. All nonprofit hospitals complete community health needs assessments every three years, a systematic process to identify and prioritize community health needs and assets and implement a plan to address significant unmet needs. The toolkit includes strategies and resources for each step of the process, from assessment to implementation.
