Welcome to the interactive dataset for the Northeast Georgia 2025 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 2025 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.

Data note: This dashboard displays community health and demographic data organized by ZIP code for each hospital’s service area to maintain consistency across all charts and maps. The accompanying CHNA includes this data, but some locations are presented by county to align with how the hospitals define their service areas. Since ZIP codes do not align perfectly with county lines, there will be some minor discrepancies between what is displayed in the dashboard and what is included in the CHNA.
