Unified Community
Health Needs Assessment
The Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) is a cyclical 3-year process crafted to give the Pottawatomie County community space to give their say on the biggest needs regarding health and healthcare, informing pivotal decisionmakers and organizations on strategic next steps as they structure future health programs, policies, and services.
​
The CHNA is a collaborative health survey conducted with the University of Oklahoma College of Public Health and vital community partners. The information that informs the CHNA is gathered from the Community Health Survey, Community Health Conversations, and secondary data sources.
