Saint Francis Healthcare System periodically completes a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) of its service area, as required under the Affordable Care Act to comply with federal tax-exemption requirements.
Saint Francis has developed an implementation strategy to address these needs through 2022. Top priorities and health behavioral needs to be addressed include:
- Obesity (adults and children)
- Heart Disease (hypertension, diabetes, cholesterol)
- Mental Health (substance abuse, depression, bipolar disorder)
- Cancer (breast, prostate, colon/rectum, lung cancer)
- Healthcare Affordability
Saint Francis Healthcare System wishes to thank its community partners for helping to gather information.
