Community Health Needs Assessment and Community Health Improvement Plans
Every three years, Santiam Hospital & Clinics conducts a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) to better understand the most pressing health challenges facing our community. We work alongside local partners to develop a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) that guides our community benefit efforts. The CHNA and CHIP help ensure that our resources are directed where they can make the greatest impact to improve health outcomes, strengthen community well-being, and respond to identified vital conditions in meaningful ways.
