Reports and Strategy Documents

Every three years, Froedtert West Bend Hospital, in partnership with other local health systems and the health department in Washington County, aligns resources to complete a shared community health needs assessment (CHNA). A CHNA is a tool to identify significant community health needs and issues through a robust data collection and analysis process. State, county and community data is collected through community health surveys, key stakeholder interviews, focus groups, a compiling of secondary source data and internal hospital data. This CHNA serves as the foundation for the Froedtert West Bend Hospital Implementation Strategy to improve health outcomes and reduce disparities.

The following reports are instrumental in prioritizing significant health needs and improving overall community health.
