  • CHI St. Vincent Infirmary
    A note from our Chief Executive Officer In January 2019, Catholic Health Initiatives and Dignity Health joined forces with a common vision to build healthier communities, advocate for those who are poor and vulnerable, and create innovative solutions to the most complex healthcare problems in the United States. Together as CommonSpirit Health, we have a rich history and tradition of ministry service that is far-reaching, and we follow the example given to us by the sixteen congregations of women religious who founded the many hospitals that now comprise our health system. CHI St. Vincent – as a member of CommonSpirit Health - continues its 130 year legacy built on the provision of safe, high-quality healthcare services, health education and extensive community outreach. Our vision is and has always been to improve the overall health of the communities we serve. The pages that follow outline the most pressing health issues facing Arkansans as identified through our 2019 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) process. This work reflects hours of research, conversation with our community members and thoughtful reflection on our ever-evolving role as partners with those we serve. Our findings affirm the importance of our community outreach efforts and guide our actions as we strive to build healthier communities. Through a new look at population health and a renewed interest in the social determinants of health, this report guides CHI St. Vincent in addressing identified health needs. We are grateful for every partner who joined with us in the CHNA process, and we look forward to building new partnerships in health as we take our next steps forward in this work.
