The Hidden Risk Most Counties Are Facing
When was the last time you completed a full Community Health Needs Assessment?
If it was before 2022, you may already be out of compliance with national standards—especially if your department is accredited or preparing for renewal. This isn’t just a documentation issue. It affects your ability to:
Secure state and federal funding
Pass internal or external audits
Retain public trust and operational stability
Add in the recent budget reductions from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the pressure is even greater.
The Fastest Way to Get Back on Track
