Community Health Needs Assessment and Implementation Plan

Community health improvement at Salem Health 

Salem Health Hospitals and Clinics has a longstanding commitment to serve those who live, work and play in Marion and Polk counties. The commitment has evolved and grown through significant thought and care in considering our community's most pressing needs.

On a regular cadence, Salem Hospital and West Valley Hospital work with local public health authorities, coordinated care organizations, other area hospitals and community-based organizations to complete a comprehensive Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). The results of the CHNA inform the Community Health Implementation Plan, which guides Salem Health's community benefit and strategic planning.

Through the CHNA and CHIP, Salem Health allocates resources toward services, outreach, prevention, education and wellness opportunities where the greatest impact can be realized.
