Do you really know what health services your community needs - and wants? If you are a 501-(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, the Internal Revenue Service wants you to. Not your opinion of what your community needs, not what others are doing for their communities, but what your community members tell you they want and need in terms of health services. Why? - to justify your various services as true community benefits, for demonstration on your Form 990.
But more importantly, Community Health Needs Assessments have long been shown to provide important information about the health care needs of local communities. A properly designed and conducted survey gives you important information about the health care purchasing preferences and habits of a community - competitive information which can be obtained in no other way. And at the same time, the process builds confidence in, and loyalty to your organization.
As we look forward to the future, we can clearly understand that the IRS will expect us to have that kind of community-centered information - at the core of our mission and decisions.
Allen Allen & Eliot, Inc. has been conducting Community Health Needs Assessments since 2001, and can guide you through the process quickly and easily.
Each assessment tool is constructed to meet the specific needs of the client and community, and administered in a way that is most effective in that environment. A full and complete strategic interpretation is provided to the client, in a forum of their choice.
