During 2018–2019, Allina Health worked with local public health and communities surrounding each of its hospitals to assess community health, determine priorities and develop a plan for how we will address those priorities for the next three years. Three priorities emerged throughout our system: mental health and substance use and well-being and healthy eating/active living. Social determinants were identified as a key factor in all areas of health.
Below are links to each hospital's report and executive summary which include: a description of the hospital and the demographics of the county/communities surrounding the hospital; the detailed process followed to review local data and gather input from a variety of stakeholders and the results of the process; and finally, the implementation plan with our goals, strategies and activities for 2020–2022. Additionally, an executive summary summarizes Allina Health’s systemwide approach to community health needs assessments.
