Abstract:
Indiana University Bloomington School of Public Health and the Center for Rural Engagement are pleased to present the 2020 Crawford County Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). CHNAs are federally mandated reports that are predominantly completed by a 501(c)(3) hospital (IRS, 2019). Because the nearest hospital is approximately 45 miles from Crawford County, the School of Public Health and the Center for Rural Engagement facilitated the development of a county-specific needs assessment. This document provides an overview of the methods and process used to identify and prioritize significant health needs among Crawford County, Indiana residents.
