Based on the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act (PPCA), all nonprofit hospitals conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) every three years, and work on implementation plans to drive community results. St. Luke’s conducted its second CHNA in 2015-2016, and will continue to focus on the three key areas as identified in its 2013 needs assessment:

• Obesity and sedentary lifestyle

• Cancer screenings and support services

• Management of chronic conditions

The needs assessment document provides available updates to local data and information about St. Luke’s work in the community on these focus areas to help improve the health of the community.
