The federal government now requires that non-profit hospitals conduct a
community health assessment. These census-like studies help health care
providers build stronger relationships with their communities, identify needs
and dedicate funding and other resources toward programs that clearly
benefit local residents.
Several community and health care organizations formed a collaborative
team to implement a three-part survey focused on identifying and defining
our local health issues, concerns and needs. The team has been working
together for more than a year to gather and analyze data, and provide
direction for the full report. Participating organizations include:
• Greater Ottawa County United Way
• Holland Hospital
• North Ottawa Community Health System
• Ottawa County Health Department
• Ottawa County Community Mental Health
• Spectrum Health Zeeland Community Hospital
Results of this survey can be read and available for download at this link.
