“I don’t have time to do this right.” “Our last CHNA cost more and delivered less.” “We can’t afford to miss another funding cycle.”
If you’ve ever said (or thought) those words, you’re not alone.
Every week, I speak with public health leaders — many of them women like you — who are juggling board deadlines, state mandates, and the constant demand to do more with less.
You deserve a CHNA process that protects your time, safeguards compliance, and proves the value of your work — without dragging on for six to nine months.
Introducing CHNA Express™ + Cost to the Community™
At Ascendant Healthcare Partners™, we deliver a PHAB-compliant Community Health Needs Assessment in just 45 days — paired with our proprietary Cost to the Community™ model to quantify the true financial burden of preventable disease in your community.
Every report meets national standards, aligns with Healthy People 2030, and is designed for real-world board, grant, and audit use.
What Makes This Different
Unlike academic institutions or long consulting contracts, AHP delivers:
Speed without sacrifice: PHAB standards met in 45–60 days.
Economic clarity: Cost to the Community™ ROI scenarios that resonate with funders.
No hidden costs: Transparent pricing starting at $18,000.
Board-ready results: Data that tells a story your stakeholders will understand and champion.
What’s At Stake If You Delay
When deadlines slip, the ripple effects are real:
Grant renewals stall.
Leadership credibility is questioned.
Health challenges go unaddressed.
The funding you fought for goes unused.
Your CHNA is more than a compliance checkbox — it’s your opportunity to lead with clarity, secure resources, and show your community you’re in control.
Your 3-Step Path to an Audit-Ready CHNA
Step 1: Schedule Your Call
We’ll confirm deliverables, timelines, and data needs — and remove the guesswork.
Step 2: Begin the 45-Day Delivery
We collect data, conduct assessments, model economic impact, and deliver a report you can stand behind — fast.
Step 3: Use Your CHNA to Fund What’s Next
Leverage your findings for CHIP development, grant applications, and strategic planning — confident your compliance is locked in.
Real-World Results
One mid-sized county used our CHNA Express™ report to secure $250,000 in follow-on funding. Another leveraged Cost to the Community™ to unlock new reimbursement opportunities for chronic disease prevention.
