Community Benefit
At Nuvance Health, we are not only your caregivers — we are also your friends, family and neighbors. Through our community benefit initiatives, we aim to increase well-being for everyone.
We assess our region’s health needs and create improvement plans designed to address identified health needs and improve wellness. Nuvance Health® publishes all current assessments and improvement plans, as well as previous plans.
What is a health needs assessment?
A health needs assessment is a survey to identify the health priorities of a community. Every three years, we review and refresh these assessments to learn more about how we can build a healthier community.
What is a community service or improvement plan?
Based on the results of the needs assessment, we write Improvement Plans (CHIP) or Community Service Plans (CSPs). These documents outline what strategies we intend to use to improve overall health in the communities where we live and work.
