Community Health Needs Assessment and Community Health Service Plan
NewYork-Presbyterian (NYP) is deeply committed to the communities in the boroughs of New York City, Westchester County, and the surrounding areas. NewYork-Presbyterian delivers a range of innovative programs and services intended to educate and provide resources to prevent illness, maintain health, and improve the overall well-being of the community. In 2019, NewYork-Presbyterian
completed its triennial Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) to understand the needs of local communities and the conditions that influence their well-being, as well as to assemble a three-year plan to enhance community health in areas identified as highdisparity neighborhoods. Governance, Engagement, and Collaboration: The Division of Community & Population Health and the Office of Government & Community Relations partnered to develop an enterprise wide CHNA process to promote community awareness and hospital alignment in order to maximize the impact on those who need it most. A Steering Committee consisting of NewYork-Presbyterian leadership, which included representation across all of our campuses, was key to providing insight and guidance and making decisions that affected the completion of the CHNA.
