The assessment’s primary purpose is to objectively look at the current health needs of a community and the existing resources available to address those needs, then prioritize the unmet health needs and create a plan to address them. In Butte County, this has been a collaborative project, bringing together Enloe Medical Center, Adventist Health, Orchard Hospital and Butte County Public Health. Using the community feedback and health data gathered, the resulting response and action plan will help shape programs over the next three years. Report Adoption, Availability and Comments Enloe Medical Center’s Board of Trustees adopted this CHNA report in November 2019. This report is available to the public on the hospital’s website at www.enloe.org/CHNA. Comments on this report can be submitted to [email protected]. EMC | 3 2016 CHNA RESPONSE In 2016, Enloe Medical Center partnered with Butte County Public Health and the three other hospitals in our county to conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment. The outcome was an action plan that committed the focus of our outreach efforts on: • Social determinants of health • Chronic diseases • Substance abuse and mental illness Enloe Medical Center committed to identifying opportunities to collaborate with community partners to break down barriers associated with meeting these needs and help provide the education and tools members of our community need to be proactive in their health and lifestyle choices. Action Plan and Results from 2016 Community Health Needs Assessment Social Determinates of Health – The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services promotes the concept of an Accountable Health Community Model for addressing social needs that can improve health outcomes and reduce costs. In the coming years, Enloe Medical Center will continue fostering relationships throughout the community that support this model and promote connections between community members and essential services such as access to healthy foods, transportation, and safe living environments. Response – Enloe’s Community Outreach Program adopted a comprehensive intervention strategy that aligns with the Healthy People 2020 social determinates of health to increase awareness and access to necessary support services through community partnerships. The Chapman Town Family Wellness Fair for students of Chapman Elementary School and their families, as well as residents of the surrounding neighborhood, brought together 34 agencies to address needs such as healthy foods, clothing, and safe housing. Enloe Case Management offers a variety of support services to patients and families during hospital stays and upon discharge. Individuals with limited resources benefit from Case Management and the Compassion Fund set up through the Enloe Foundation.
