According to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), private, non-profit hospitals, such as Sheppard Pratt, must perform a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) every three years. Through our Community Health Needs Assessment, we evaluated the health needs of individuals living in the service areas of our two hospital campuses in Towson and Elkridge. From there, we will develop a plan and implementation strategy so we can meet the community health needs identified.
