ECU Health in Greenville, N.C. is currently reaching out to community members in eastern North Carolina for feedback on their ongoing Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). Gathering input directly from community members is essential to understanding the most pressing health issues affecting local communities and to tailor efforts to address these challenges effectively. The CHNA is conducted every three years and serves as the foundation for improving and promoting good health in the region.

The results of the completed CHNA analysis will be used to prioritize strategies aimed at meeting community health needs, ultimately improving the health and well-being of individuals in the region.
