Why CHNA Express™ Is the Most Strategic Path for Budget‑Conscious Health Leaders

Health departments facing tight budgets and limited staffing still have one constant: the obligation to complete a current, PHAB-compliant CHNA.

CHNA Express™ is designed for exactly that challenge: a fully PHAB-compliant, 45-day process that covers everything you need—without exhausting your team or your funding.

Let’s explore why it works.

1. The National Landscape: Why Speed Matters

Federal momentum is building around data-driven prevention. HHS recently launched a campaign encouraging wearable health devices as a tool for earlier intervention (Reuters).

But as national policy evolves, local health departments are being asked to do more—with less.

2. What CHNA Express™ Delivers in 45 Days

CPA, CSA, and CCA (the three required assessments) 

Virtual stakeholder engagement 

County-specific indicator sets + GIS mapping 

Draft + final report, executive summary, and slide deck

No shortcuts—just a clear, focused pathway to compliance.

4. Why Now Is the Time

Many departments are grappling with flat budgets, rising demands, and a leadership vacuum. CHNA Express™ gives you:

• A strategic product

• A documented process

• An efficient timeline

All delivered within 45 days.

5. Federal Trends Reinforce Local Action

As HHS restructures and prioritizes digital data streams, your ability to present a complete CHNA remains critical. A high-quality, data-rich CHNA positions your team for future funding, partnerships, and policy influence.

Healthy People 2030 alignment is built in.

6. Case Example: Monroe County

With turnover in leadership and a deadline looming, Monroe County selected CHNA Express™:

• Completed their CHNA in 41 days

• Used the findings in a grant application

• Secured $85,000 for CHIP implementation

It proved that rapid doesn’t mean rushed.
