Abstract
Iowa’s established community health needs assessment process for local boards of health needs to be integrated with federal requirements for nonprofit hospitals to conduct community health needs assessments. Iowa has more than a 30-year history of assessing community health needs. Every five years, local boards of health lead community-wide discussions with stakeholders and residents about their community's health needs and identify strategies to address those needs. The process, Community Health Needs Assessment and Health Improvement Plan (CHNA&HIP), is a fundamental piece of statewide health planning and represents local action to promote and protect the health of Iowans.
