This article was included in the “Your Community, Your Self” Community Benefits Report for Spring 2012. View the complete index of articles and content, or download the full PDF (four pages).
This is the first in a series of community benefit reports to be published over the next several months. In each report we plan to inform readers of the important ways Self Regional Healthcare supports the health and well-being of our communities beyond the walls of our patient care facilities. The activities receiving financial support from Self Regional have been selected based on the findings from previous community health needs assessments and community impact studies.
Self Regional, along with other healthcare providers, will be conducting another study over the next several months to confirm and update our priority community health needs. This community health needs assessment process will be carefully planned to receive input from all stakeholder groups.
These groups include members of:
• general public
• medical and health care providers
• social service organizations
• education leaders
• faith community leaders
• law enforcement
• public health officials
• neighborhood groups
• government officials and those
serving in elected positions
Self Regional Healthcare serves communities in each of the Lakelands’ counties.
