Health profession education
Subsidized health services
Cash and in-kind donations to community groups
covering a broad spectrum of phys-
ical, mental and behavioral health, as
well as quality-of-life related issues.
The Committee also engaged the
services of the Hospital Council of
Northwest Ohio (HCNO), which
had previously worked with peer
hospitals in our region, to guide
the Assessment’s development, as
well as to administer and compile
the results. Surveys were conducted
from September through December
2015 and focused on adults age 19
and older throughout Union County.
The HCNO also integrated sources
of state and federal data with the
final results.
Those results, along with an
extensive data analysis, were shared
in a final report titled “Union
County Community Health Status
Assessment 2015” at a public event
held in La Grande in April 2016.
Attendance more than met our
expectations. We were inspired by
the enthusiasm and diversity of the
group’s feedback during and after
the presentation.
We have been able to use all of
this insight in developing an imple-
mentation strategy, which will guide
our community benefit efforts in
fiscal year 2018. At that point, we
start the process all over again.
Giving back. Paying it forward. Staying the course.
