Child & Community Health Priorities

Since 2012, Children’s has conducted a Pediatric Health Needs Assessment (P-CHNA) with key stakeholders to determine our community’s child health priorities. The assessment is completed every three years. It surveys and involves local public health departments, other health systems and hospitals, youth-focused community organizations and parents/caregivers.

The goals and strategies to improve the three child health priority areas have been defined for the next three years through a Community Health Improvement Plan.
