Demonstrating Community Need

As part of the Affordable Care Act, tax-exempt hospitals are required to complete a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) once every three years. While Graham Regional Medical Center (GRMC) is not a 501(c)(3) hospital, this study is designed to comply with the same standards and helps assure that GRMC identifies and responds to the primary health needs of its residents and enables GRMC to focus their efforts and resources on the most significant health needs of the community.

In 2019 and 2023, a CHNA was conducted for GRMC and identified the greatest health needs in our community. The 2023 report includes a comprehensive assessment of Young County, Texas.

The analyses include a careful review of the most current health data available, demographics, and input from numerous community representatives. The process culminates in the development of an Implementation Plan to address the significant needs identified through the CHNA. The CHNA and Implementation Plan report was presented to and approved by the Hospital Board on July 27, 2023. Graham Regional Medical Center will utilize its plan as a guide over the next three years to offer programs that support the health of the community and the mission of the organization.
