    Sentara Albemarle Medical Center Community Health Needs Assessment 2019 Sentara Albemarle Medical Center Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) 2019 Table of Contents I. Introduction 2 II. Community Description and Demographics 4 III. Health Status Indicators 12 IV. Community Insight 22 V. Prior CHNA Year‐end Progress Report 42 VI. Appendix – About Health ENC and Conduent HCI 46 1 Introduction Sentara Albemarle Medical Center (SAMC) has conducted a community health needs assessment of the area that we serve. The assessment provides us with a picture of the health status of the residents in our communities and provides us with information about health and health‐related problems that impact health status. This assessment was carried out in partnership with Albemarle Regional Health Services (ARHS), Health ENC1, and Conduent Healthy Communities Institute in the area that we serve, including Camden, Currituck, Gates, Pasquotank, and Perquimans Counties. County level data and community findings for each county were provided by Conduent Healthy Communities Institute, with The Duke Endowment as the fiscal sponsor. During the assessment process, these data and findings were explored to better understand the unique sociodemographic and health issues relevant to each county. Our assessment includes a review of population characteristics such as age, educational level, and racial and ethnic composition because social factors are important determinants of health. The assessment also looks at risk factors like obesity and smoking and at health indicators such as infant mortality and cancer incidence rates. Community input is important so the assessment also includes survey results from a community survey, as well as findings from focus groups with community members on health issues and barriers to achieving good health.
