Bon Secours Mercy Health continues to live our Mission of extending the compassionate ministry of Jesus through a variety of community health programs, initiatives and collaborations that increase knowledge, access and sustainability through tools and relationships to improve health and well-being.
Bon Secours Mercy Health remains focused on supporting intentional investment and low-cost capital for projects that support the people and places we serve. The investment program supports nonclinical interventions to address social drivers and determinants of health, using resources to improve community infrastructure, neighborhood conditions and quality of life.
Bon Secours Mercy Health continues to prioritize its commitment to engaging local, regional and national partners. Using the expertise of local residents and stakeholders, community-based organizations, and regional and national policy partners, the ministry addresses the most immediate health and social needs of the communities within its footprint.
Conducted every three years, the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) is a collaborative activity between Bon Secours Mercy Health, local residents, community organizations and leaders. The CHNA presents an opportunity to listen to patients and community members who interact with Community Health programming and Bon Secours Mercy Health care teams. Feedback is collected, concerns and suggestions through a series of surveys, town hall meetings, focus groups and key informant interviews. These are a significant source of information in program planning and program improvement strategies.
