LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Norton Healthcare is conducting a Community Health Needs Survey as required under federal law every three years and is asking residents in its service area to take 5 to 10 minutes to complete a 100% confidential survey.
Community needs surveys are required under the federal Affordable Care Act by all health systems to understanding the needs of community and help ensure everyone has access to the resources they need for health and well-being.
Survey responses help provider systems understand and plan for the programs and services needed most in the communities they serve. A large and broad response rate allows for greater understanding of health needs.
The survey is available in both English and Spanish here. Norton Healthcare encourages residents to share the survey link with their local network. The survey will be open through the end of March. Other languages are available upon request Jessica Ballard, Norton’s manager of community benefit and planning, at jessica.[email protected].
