Community Health Needs Assessment
We Need Your Feedback
Keeping a pulse on the health needs of our community is vital in ensuring everyone has the resources they need for health and well-being. As a leader in serving our region’s adult and pediatric patients, Norton Healthcare regularly conducts a Community Health Needs Survey. The results from this survey help us understand and plan for programs and services needed in Greater Louisville and beyond.
How You Can Help
Please take this short, completely confidential survey. Translated versions of the survey are available to ensure that our data is representative of the diverse population we serve. We greatly appreciate your feedback and look forward to putting it to use, as we strive continuously to further our impact on the health of our community through the care we provide.
Part of our mission is to meet the health needs of the communities we serve. In order to fulfill that mission, we periodically conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment. This allows us to ensure programs and resources are focused on the significant health needs faced by our community and that they align with our strategic priorities.
The 2019 Community Health Needs Assessment identified the following areas of significant health needs in our community:
- Drug Use
- Obesity
- Smoking/Tobacco Use
- Mental Health
- Poor Nutrition
- Uninsured/Limited Insurance
- Access to Care
- Lack of Primary Care Physicians/Hours
