    Community Benefit: Strategies to Improve Community Health

    OVERVIEW

    > Download the Community Benefit program flyer

    The Affordable Care Act challenges our community benefit programs to be more strategic than ever. Through new requirements for transparency and accountability, not-for-profit hospitals must demonstrate that they are aware of and are addressing their communities' most pressing health care needs.

    This pre-assembly program will feature Catholic health care organizations that are using the strategies of community engagement, collaboration and program evaluation to identify community health needs and plan programs that effectively meet those needs.
