Community Health Needs Assessment

As a nonprofit healthcare system, Henry Ford conducts a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) every three years to identify the most significant health needs of the communities we serve. These needs are identified using information from many sources, including local and state data and input from many community partners and stakeholders. After identifying and prioritizing the health needs in the communities we serve, strategies are created to address these health needs in Implementation Plans.

In 2024, Henry Ford Health underwent a joint venture with eight Ascension hospitals, which are now included in the latest CHNA and Implementation Plans. The Community Health Needs Assessments and Implementation Plans conducted for these eight hospitals prior to the joint venture can be found below.
