Acerca de la evaluación de las necesidades de salud de la comunidad

The Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) provides a way to address unmet community health needs. It must be conducted by non-profit hospitals every three years, as mandated by the Affordable Care Act. The health assessment serves as the foundation for community health improvement efforts for the next three years. Our most recent CHNA survey was conducted in March 2025.

The previous CHNA process began in 2022 and was facilitated by the Missouri Hospital Association Quality Works team. To gather feedback from the community served by WMMC, residents of the area were given the opportunity to participate in a survey. Nine hundred thirty-five area residents completed the survey. Additional information was collected through a town hall meeting with community partners. The input from the residents, who primarily reside in Johnson County, represented the broad interest of the communities in the service area. Data derived from primary and secondary data was key in informing the CHNA process.

Crear comunidades saludables requiere un alto nivel de comprensión mutua y colaboración entre los líderes comunitarios. El comité de Evaluación de las Necesidades de Salud de la Comunidad (CHNA) reúne a líderes, proveedores y residentes de salud de la comunidad para investigar y priorizar las necesidades de salud del condado y documentar el éxito de la prestación de servicios de salud en la comunidad.

Después de analizar los datos, el comité CHNA determinó estos problemas de salud emergentes:

• Salud mental y abuso de sustancias
• Atención médica asequible (incluido el acceso a la atención dental)
• Enfermedades crónicas (incluidos cáncer, diabetes, enfermedades cardíacas y obesidad)

Cada uno de estos problemas de salud está siendo abordado por comités individuales compuestos por líderes y miembros de la comunidad de diferentes organizaciones.
