Community Health Needs Assessments

System Community Benefit Overview

Each year, SSM Health reinvests in our communities through charity care, medical education and research, as well as contributions to community health improvement services.

Based on findings from Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNAs) conducted in each of our communities, we work together with government agencies, charitable foundations, and other local organizations to provide a safety net, helping people access preventative care, investing in critical services, and bringing hope to individuals in difficult times.
