Community Health Needs Assessment full report HERE.

All tax exempt, not-for-profit hospitals are required to conduct a community health needs assessment on a three-year cycle and make the results publicly available.

The Affordable Care Act of 2010 creates an opportunity for hospitals and public health agencies to accelerate community health improvement by conducting triennial community health needs assessments and adopting related implementation strategies that address significant health needs.

Building upon our shared community health needs assessment efforts of 2013, 2016, 2019, and 2022 Ridgeview Behavioral Health Services and Methodist Medical Center partnered once again to conduct a joint community health needs assessment for Anderson County. Although both organizations provide health care for multiple counties, Anderson County was selected for the assessment. Anderson County is where both institutions receive the majority of their patients and deploy the bulk of their community benefit resources.

By combining the expertise of Ridgeview Behavioral Health Services and Methodist Medical Center, the mental and physical dimensions of health have both been incorporated, offering a unique perspective in identifying the broader health needs of Anderson County.
