LARNED – Over the next few months, Pawnee Valley Community Hospital will be working together with other area community leaders to update the Pawnee County 2024 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). PVCH is requesting Pawnee County community members’ 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, has been retained 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 the Pawnee Valley Hospital website and/or Facebook page.

All community residents and business leaders are encouraged to complete this online survey by Jan. 19, 2024. In addition, a CHNA town hall meeting to discuss the survey findings and identify unmet needs will be held from 11 a.m.-1:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 22, 2024. 

If one has any questions regarding CHNA activities, call 620-285-8842.
