Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA)
Community Health Priorities and Implementation Strategy
Every three years, Beverly Hospital and Addison Gilbert Hospital conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) to identify and prioritize the most significant health needs in the communities we serve. This assessment helps guide our community benefit programs, partnerships, and investments, and ensures alignment with federal requirements for nonprofit hospitals.
The CHNA is informed by a comprehensive review of quantitative data, direct community input, and collaboration with local organizations and public health partners. Together, these insights help Beverly and Addison Gilbert Hospitals focus resources where they can have the greatest impact on health equity and community well-being.

The Community Resource Guide was developed to highlight health and social service resources available in the community. As a disclaimer, the listings within this guide are designed as informational and are not meant to be taken as recommendations or endorsements.
