Meet your compliance requirements

The IRS requires tax-exempt hospitals to complete Community Health Needs Assessments every three years. We help you do it better and faster.

IRS Requirement

Tax-exempt hospitals must complete a CHNA every three years under the Affordable Care Act (IRC Section 501(r)).

Community Input

CHNAs must include input from persons who represent the broad interests of the community, including underserved populations.

Implementation Strategy

Hospitals must adopt an implementation strategy to address identified health needs.
