Providence San Fernando Valley Hospitals Community Health Needs Assessment 2025

The document is a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) for Providence San Fernando Valley hospitals, aimed at understanding community strengths and needs every three years. It outlines the collaborative efforts of the hospitals to identify significant health-related needs within the community. The assessment utilizes a mixed-methods approach, gathering both quantitative and qualitative data through community engagement, including listening sessions and stakeholder interviews. Key findings indicate that access to care and preventive resources, behavioral health issues, and chronic diseases are the top health priorities. The hospitals plan to develop a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) to address these needs in collaboration with community partners. The report also evaluates the impact of the previous CHIP, noting investments made to address prioritized needs. It highlights challenges such as mental health distress, housing affordability, and access to culturally responsive services, particularly for vulnerable populations. The CHNA was approved by relevant boards and made publicly available in late 2025.
