2023-2025 needs assessments and implementation plans

During 2021–2022, Allina Health worked with local public health and communities surrounding each of its hospitals to assess community health, determine priorities and develop a plan to address those priorities the next three years.

Four priorities emerged throughout our system:

  • mental health and wellness
  • substance use prevention and recovery
  • social determinants of health and health-related social needs
  • access to culturally responsive care.

Below are links to each hospital's report and executive summary, including:

  • 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
  • the implementation plan with our goals, strategies and activities for 2023–2025.

The executive summary summarizes Allina Health’s systemwide approach to community health needs assessments.
