Covenant Health Plainview Community Health Needs Assessment 2023

The document is a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) for Covenant Health Plainview, conducted to engage the community and understand its strengths and needs. The assessment process, which occurs every three years, informs the organization's partnerships, programs, and investments aimed at improving community health. The 2023 CHNA was approved on October 19, 2023, and made publicly available by December 28, 2023. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the assessment gathered data from various sources, including the American Community Survey and local public health data, and involved community engagement through listening sessions and interviews. Key findings highlighted community commitment, mental health and substance abuse as high priorities, and the need for improved access to healthcare resources. The document identifies priority focus areas such as mental health, substance misuse, access to care, and food insecurity, which will guide the development of a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) over the next three years.
