Goshen Health launches 2024 Community Health Needs Assessment

Goshen Health is conducting a community health needs assessment this spring. Through surveys, focus groups, and conversations involving community members, the current health needs of the community will be identified and response strategies developed. The overarching goal is to create a long-term plan that improves community health and wellness.

Randy Christophel, President and CEO of Goshen Health stated, “Our strategy is to engage a wide range of stakeholders to understand the changing health needs in the region to effectively serve our community.”

Goshen Health has invited key community leaders to serve with Goshen Health Colleagues on a Community Advisory Council. The Community Advisory Council will help identify and prioritize the health needs and assist with the assessment process.

Christophel added, “Our goal is to create both short and long-term plans that improve community health and wellness through broad-based engagement, healthcare education, preventive services and compassionate care. We remain committed to partnering with our community to bring about positive changes in health and wellness.”

Community members are encouraged to provide input on current health needs and issues by taking a brief survey. The survey can be accessed in English here or at https://forms.gle/WddiXChaXMqHdM6J8. It is also available in Spanish here or at https://forms.gle/hVCFvVzhen87hbKo6. Both surveys will be open for public feedback through May 31, 2024.
