Community Health Needs Assessment
GDAHA is always seeking to better understand how to meet the healthcare needs of individuals & families in the Greater Dayton Area. The 2021 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) is a comprehensive, data-driven, and actionable review of the health of our region.
2021 Community Health Needs Assessment
The 2021 regional, collaborative CHNA provides a summary of:
- The most prevalent health conditions in our community and conditions for which people most commonly did not receive treatment in past year,
- The social determinants of health (SDOH) that impact these poor health outcomes,
- And the systemic barriers that influence health disparities and inequities for our community members.
Because physical, environmental, and behavioral factors greatly impact health conditions, this CHNA focused on the SDOH and the underlying structural barriers influencing the SDOH that impact the health of community members.
The 2021 CHNA was in collaboration between GDAHA and The Health Collaborative (THC), and includes partnership with 36 hospitals, 22 health departments, across 26 counties in Greater Cincinnati and the Greater Dayton Area, southeast Indiana, and northern Kentucky. The success of this CHNA is a result of the collaboration from local community champions, and strategic partners throughout the region who helped with community engagement and data collection efforts.
