2011 Community Health Needs Assessment
In 2011, Holy Cross Hospital identified unmet community health needs by conducting a community health needs assessment in collaboration with the Montgomery County Healthy Montgomery Community Health Improvement Process. The hospital also analyzed needs assessments and data about the market, demographics, socio-economic factors and health service utilization, and participated in community coalitions, commissions, committees, boards, partnerships, advisory groups and panels.
Each year since 2005, Holy Cross Hospital has invited representatives of these groups to review its community benefit plan and provide recommendations for the hospital's community benefit focus. The hospital's activities focus on positively impacting the health of our community with a continuum of care that is tailored to meet the unique needs of women, infants, seniors, and racial, ethnic and linguistic minorities.
Unmet community health needs have been identified in the following areas: access to health services; cancer; diabetes; heart disease and stroke' exercise, nutrition and weight; and maternal, fetal and infant health.
