Health Center Foundations: Needs Assessment and Strategic Planning

Conducting a community needs assessment is an important compliance requirement, as is engaging in long-range strategic planning. This session will cover HRSA requirements, tools, and methods for conducting a comprehensive needs assessment; HRSA expectations around and fundamentals of strategic planning; and some ways you can use your needs assessment to inform the strategic planning process, decision-making around service delivery and scope, and more. You will leave this session more prepared to connect the needs of your community to your health center’s overall strategy and operations.
