COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENTS (CHA)
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2015),* a community health assessment (or community health needs
assessment) is an initiative that identifies the health needs of a state, tribe, or other territory via systematic data collection and
analytical techniques. The community health improvement plan based on the CHA is generally updated every 3-5 years.
