Carroll County Seeks Community Input on Local Health Needs
Manning Regional Healthcare Center (MRHC) is working with local community leaders to update the 2025 Carroll County Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). MRHC is seeking input from Carroll County community members regarding current healthcare delivery and unmet resident needs.
The CHNA uses data and community input from the survey that measures and identifies the health needs of the communities MRHC serves. This information is gathered, and the assets and/or needs are used to develop an implementation plan. The three-year implementation plan will then inspire collective actions from multiple community partners and ensure there is an effective allocation of resources from within the hospital and throughout the community.
The goal of this assessment update is to understand progress from past community health needs assessments conducted in 2022, 2019, and 2016, while collecting up-to-date community health perceptions and ideas. VVV Consultants LLC, an independent research firm from Olathe, KS, has been retained to conduct this countywide research.
A brief community survey has been developed if you would like to participate in providing this important feedback. The CHNA survey link can be accessed by visiting mrhcia.com and/or the MRHC Facebook page.
All community residents and business leaders are encouraged to complete the survey by February 3, 2025. In addition, a CHNA Town Hall meeting to discuss the survey findings and identify unmet needs will be held on Thursday, March 6th, 2025, for dinner from 5 – 6:30 pm at the MRHC Administration Conference Room. More information will be shared soon.
If you have questions regarding CHNA activities, please call MRHC Chief Nursing Officer, Michelle Andersen, RN, BSN at (712) 655-8220.
