The One Report Your Community Can’t Afford to Ignore
(And why waiting could cost taxpayers millions)
Every mayor. Every health administrator. Every hospital CEO.There’s one question you should be asking right now — “What is the real cost of our community’s health problems?”
If you can’t answer it with up-to-date, board-ready data, you’re already behind.
That cost — known as the taxpayer burden — isn’t just a budget figure. It’s the ongoing drain on your county’s economy, your workforce, your school readiness, and your ability to secure federal and state funding.
And yet, most counties don’t know their number — and that lack of clarity costs opportunities, influence, and potentially millions in grants.
The Clock Is Ticking on Compliance and Funding
With shifting federal mandates, tighter state audits, and evolving Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) standards, a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) or Community Health Assessment (CHA) is no longer a “nice to have.”
It’s the foundation for:
Every grant application.
Every policy decision.
Every conversation with your board or community leaders.
Without it, you risk being:
Out of compliance with PHAB or state requirements.
Overlooked in competitive funding rounds.
Unprepared when boards or community members demand accountability.
