Community health work that goes beyond compliance.
I help hospitals and public health partners understand local health needs, align stakeholders, and build improvement plans that lead to real change.
A CHNA That Just Checks the Box Isn’t Worth the Effort.
Most hospitals complete their Community Health Needs Assessment soley to fulfill the IRS requirement. The report gets filed, the priorities get listed — and then the work stalls because no one is clear on who owns what, and the community partners aren't fully invested. The data was real. The IRS is satisfied. The plan just didn't stick.
What Makes This Different
People-centered engagement
Community voice isn't a checkbox. We design engagement processes that actively recruit the people most affected, not just the usual stakeholders.
Compression Planning® priority-setting
A structured session that helps partners move from data overload to shared, realistic priorities without endless committee meetings.
Built for implementation
The CHIP is designed with ownership in mind from day one. Partners leave knowing exactly who is doing what and why it matters.
A Practical Path Forward
Through CHNA and improvement planning, we align partners around shared goals and a practical path forward. Implementation coaching then helps ensure those priorities lead to sustained collaboration and measurable health outcomes.
