The assessment identified the health-related needs of the community including low-income, minority and other underserved populations. In order to ensure broad community input, AdventHealth Deland created a Community Health Needs Assessment Committee (CHNAC) to help guide the Hospital through the assessment process. The CHNAC included representation from the hospital, public health experts and the broad community. This included intentional representation from low-income, minority and other underserved populations. The CHNAC met throughout 2018-2019. The members reviewed the primary and secondary data, helped define the priority issues to be addressed by the Hospital, and helped develop the Community Health Plan (CHP) to address the priority issues. The CHP lists targeted interventions and measurable outcomes for each priority issue noted below. It includes resources the Hospital will commit and notes any planned collaborations between the Hospital and other community organizations and hospitals. Priority Issues to be Addressed The priority issues to be addressed include: 1. Adult and Youth Behavioral Health 2. Cardiovascular Diseases and Diabetes 3. Barriers to Accessing Health Care Services 4. Healthy Eating and Physical Activity 5. Social and Economic Issues (Social Determinants of Health) See Section 3 for goals, objectives and next steps for each priority selected to be addressed. Priority Issues not to be Addressed The priority issues that will not be addressed include: 1. The Years of Potential Aging-related issues 2. Child and Adolescent Issues 3. Communicable and Infectious Diseases 4. Crime, Domestic Violence and Child Abuse 5. Early Childhood 6. Women’s Health, Prenatal Care and Birth Outcomes See Section 4 for an explanation of why the Hospital is not addressing these issues. 3 Board Approval On March 3, 2020, the AdventHealth DeLand Board approved the Community Health Plan (CHP) goals, objectives and next steps. A link to the 2020 Community Health Plan was posted on the Hospital’s website prior to May 15, 2020. The Community Health Plan can be found at https://www.adventhealth.com/community-health-needs- assessments. Ongoing Evaluation AdventHealth DeLand’s fiscal year is January – December. Implementation of the 2020 CHP begins upon its approval by the Board. The first annual evaluation will begin from the date of implementation through the end of the calendar year. Evaluation results will be attached to the Hospital’s IRS Form 990, Schedule H. The collective monitoring and reporting will ensure the plan remains relevant and effective.
