Community Health Needs Assessment

WGI assisted the Health Planning Council of Northeast Florida in preparing the Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNA) for five hospital systems and 13 hospital campuses serving Northeast Florida. The reports identify the health needs of communities that risk not receiving adequate medical care because of various inequities.

As part of the project development, WGI prepared five county profiles, including county maps, infographics of various county characteristics, a map series to show the geographic distribution, and a community survey throughout the five county areas. WGI was responsible for leading survey development that analyzed race, ethnicity, income, poverty, education, and crime rates to evaluate the effects on healthcare availability and equity. Following the data collection process, WGI assembled the overall Community Health Needs Assessment Report and best practices.
