Over the next few months, Ellinwood Hospital & Clinic will be working together along with other area community leaders to update the Ellinwood, KS 2024 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). Today we are requesting community residents’ input regarding current healthcare delivery and unmet resident needs.
The goal of this assessment update is to understand progress from past Community Health Needs Assessments conducted in 2021, 2018 and 2015, while collecting up-to-date community health perceptions and ideas. VVV Consultants LLC, an independent research firm from Olathe, KS has been retained again to conduct this countywide research.
A brief community survey has been developed to accomplish this work. The CHNA survey link can be accessed by visiting our hospital website or by utilizing the QR code below for quick access.
All community residents and business leaders are encouraged to complete this online survey by February 23rd, 2024. In addition, a CHNA Town Hall meeting to discuss the survey findings and identify unmet needs will be held on Friday, March 22nd, 2024 for lunch from 11:30am-1pm. More info to come soon regarding the Town Hall. Thank you in advance for your time and support! If you have any questions regarding CHNA activities, please call (620) 564-2548 and ask to speak with Kile Magner.
