Community Health Needs Assessment Survey Now Open for Participation

Mile Bluff Medical Center is conducting its Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) now through November 30. It is an anonymous survey aimed at identifying key health issues that impact residents in South-Central Wisconsin. The survey takes just 10-15 minutes to complete; and is open to those 18 and over.

The CHNA is a vital step in a multi-year process that helps the medical center align its efforts with the evolving needs of the community. The insights gathered guide the development of initiatives tailored to address specific challenges faced by residents. Past assessments have highlighted community strengths such as a clean environment and access to affordable healthcare, while also identifying areas for improvement, including job availability and access to affordable housing and mental health services.

Residents are encouraged to share their experiences and opinions through the survey. There are questions about physical and mental health status, access to community resources, demographics and more. The feedback received will be used to shape community health initiatives over the next three years.

"We need your input to build a healthier future for our community," noted Mile Bluff President & CEO, Dara Bartels. "Your voice matters, and with just a small investment of time, you can make a significant impact on our collective health and well-being."

“Thank you in advance for your participation” concluded Bartels. “ It is essential in helping us better understand the needs of the people we serve, and identifying areas where we can make the greatest impact.”
