Communications Plan The IRS guidelines for a Community Health Needs Assessment call for making the results of the process widely available. To meet this requirement, Baptist Health Lexington will publish this document on its website and make hard copies available to the public upon request. These results will be incorporated into Baptist Healthcare System’s annual IRS tax form 990 submission.
Conclusions Baptist Health Lexington will continue to use this Community Health Needs Assessment and Strategic Implementation Plan to allocate resources to improve the health of its service area. This is in keeping with its mission and is in its best interest because improving population health will reduce healthcare costs.
