The 2023 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) survey is required by the federal government to be conducted every three years by all non-profit health care facilities, according to a press release from Trinity Health Livingston, part of the Trinity Health Michigan hospital system.

Once completed, officials say the CHNA will be shared publicly online and utilized to prioritize focus areas for the hospital’s community benefit planning.
“The health and social needs identified by the community through the CHNA process guides the Trinity Health Livingston’s Community Health local strategic initiatives every three years,” said John O’Malley, president of Trinity Health Livingston. “We are excited to partner with the Livingston Health Department so each organization gains a deeper understanding of the community we both serve and love.”
