Community Health Reports

These Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNAs) and Community Health Improvement Plans (CHIPs) were developed under the umbrella of the Ozarks Health Commission, a collaboration spanning 29 counties and three hospital systems in Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Kansas.

The research has been used to develop community priorities weighing morbidity, mortality and other factors. This information will guide our efforts to improve community health and wellness across the region. Copies of these documents are available from CoxHealth at no charge.
