Community Health & Partnerships

At Western Missouri Medical Center (WMMC), caring for our community extends beyond clinical care. Through data-driven health initiatives, nonprofit partnerships, and employee-focused programs, we work alongside local organizations, businesses, and residents to strengthen health and well-being across Johnson County and West Central Missouri.

Evaluación de necesidades de salud de la comunidad (CHNA)

Guiding our community health priorities:
The Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) helps WMMC identify and address unmet health needs in the communities we serve. Conducted every three years, the CHNA uses community input and data to guide health improvement efforts and community partnerships.
Our most recent CHNA was completed in March 2025.
