Community input in Ochsner’s Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) process allowed us to determine which significant health needs should be prioritized in our Community Health Improvement Planning process.
These high-priority needs include:
1. Access to and continuity of care
2. Health equity and discrimination in healthcare
3. Education and health literacy
4. Mental and behavioral health
5. Poverty and economic opportunity
