Overview of the 2022 CHNA

Since 2011, the hospital members of the Hospital Association of Rhode Island (HARI) have collaborated every three years on a statewide community health needs assessment (CHNA). The goal of this collaboration is to identify common and unique challenges across Rhode Island to inform community health initiatives and ultimately advance health equity for all residents.

The CHNA findings continue to guide healthcare services and health improvement efforts, as well as serve as a community resource for grant making, advocacy, and to support the many programs provided by health and social service partners.
