Welcome to the interactive dataset for the Northeast Georgia 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment.
As part of their commitment as a partnership of not-for-profit organizations, a collection of five hospitals and other community agencies studied northeast Georgia's community health needs for its 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) as to better serve their communities. A CHNA is a measurement of the relative health or well-being of a given community, and it is both the activity and end-product of identifying and prioritizing unmet community health needs. This assessment is conducted by gathering and analyzing data, soliciting community feedback, and evaluating previous work and future opportunities. The CHNA guides the hospitals' community benefit work. To read the CHNA Executive Summary, click here for English and here for Spanish. To read the full CHNA, please click here.
