        <ExplanationTxt>EVERY THREE YEARS THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA REQUIRES EVERY LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND NORTH CAROLINA HEALTHY CAROLINIANS PARTNERSHIPS TO CONDUCT A COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT. A COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT IS A PROCESS THAT ALLOWS THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY AND STAKEHOLDERS TO GAIN A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE COUNTY'S HEALTH NEEDS AND CONCERNS.FOR SEVERAL YEARS, ST. LUKE'S HOSPITAL HAS COLLABORATED WITH WNC HEALTHY IMPACT FOR A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT (CHA). USING AVAILABLE DATA AND A CROSS-SECTION OF COUNTY RESIDENTS, WE SURVEY MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY REGARDING THEIR PERCEIVED HEALTHCARE NEEDS AND DISPARITIES. WE UTILIZE NC DATA AND HOST A HEALTH FORUM EVERY THREE YEARS DURING WHICH WE PRESENT THE SURVEY FINDINGS TO THE COMMUNITY. THE CHA IS PRESENTED DURING A PUBLIC MEETING, PRESENTED TO OUR BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS, INCLUDED ON WEBSITES AND PUBLISHED IN AREA NEWS MEDIA. THE HEALTH FORUM HELPS TO BRING PEOPLE WITH DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS AND DEMOGRAPHICS TO THE TABLE TO REACH CONSENSUS ON POLK COUNTY'S TOP HEALTHCARE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND WORK TOGETHER TO CREATE SOLUTIONS. FROM THE DATA, PUBLIC MEETING AND THE HOSPITAL'S STRATEGIC PLAN, WE CREATED A COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT.</ExplanationTxt>
