As part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, nonprofit hospitals are required to conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) every three years to maintain tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The goal of the assessment is to identify critical health disparities faced by populations within St. Luke’s University Health Network (SLUHN) service areas. The assessments state health priorities unveiled by community stakeholders, hospital professionals, and public health experts.

Additionally, regional implementation plans will be crafted to build collaborative partnerships to determine the allocation of resources to address the specified health needs. To view our previous CHNA reports, please refer to the following link: slhn.org/communityhealth/community-health-needs-assessment.

If you have questions regarding these reports, contact the Department of Community Health at (484) 526-2100.
