There are plenty of health and lifestyle factors associated with skyrocketing rural mortality, but shuttered hospitals, sparse healthy food options and other non-biological factors are compounding the problem. The Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNAs) that not-for-profit hospitals are required to conduct are intended to identify and address these factors. CHC helps hospitals complete federally compliant CHNAs via a thorough and efficient process involving data collection, community surveys and stakeholder interviews.
