Transforming Health Assessments into Actionable, Data-Driven Solutions
Beyond the Data – The Next Evolution of CHNAs
Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNAs) are a powerful tool, yet most remain underutilized.
Why?
✔They lack financial projections
✔They aren’t connected to funding justifications
✔They fail to drive legislative and county-level policy decisions
At Ascendant Healthcare Partners (AHP), we specialize in turning CHNAs into funding-ready tools with our CHNA Impact & Financial Analysis—a data-driven solution designed for health departments seeking to maximize funding, influence policy, and ensure long-term community health investment.

The Missing Link: CHNA Financial Data
Public health is an investment, but without clear economic impact data, key initiatives fail to secure funding:
✔ Economic cost of inaction – What happens if a health issue is not addressed?
✔ ROI of public health interventions – How much can be saved with proactive policies?
✔ Alignment with grant and legislative funding – Are you meeting federal and state requirements?
New Public Health Priorities: Cost-Effectiveness & Accountability
Health leaders must quantify impact to remain competitive for funding.
County & legislative officials demand financial data to approve spending.
The new administration requires economic-driven justifications for grant allocations.
Without this shift, CHNAs risk becoming reports on a shelf rather than catalysts for action.
✔Is Your CHNA Driving Action or Just Reporting Data?
✔ Does your CHNA provide financial projections for top priorities?
✔ Are you using CHNA data to influence funding and policy?
