Rural Counties and Health Reform: Community Health Needs Assessments

Thursday, March 24, 2011, 12:00-1:15MSTCounty officials and local health departments can be actively engaged in community health needs assessments, which the Affordable Care Act requires nonprofit hospitals to conduct to demonstrate they are taking on uncompensated care in their communities. In the webinar by the National Association of Counties, participants will learn the basic principles of community health needs assessments, how to ensure that the local health care safety net burden is shared and about a new template designed specifically for rural areas to meet the law’s requirements.
