SGMC Health is embarking on its 2025 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) for both SGMC Health Main and SGMC Health Smith Northview. This assessment is a vital process aimed at identifying the health needs of the Lowndes County community. By gathering input from local residents, SGMC Health hopes to better understand the challenges and opportunities facing the community in terms of health and wellness.
The CHNA will involve surveys, focus groups, and community meetings, providing a platform for residents to voice their opinions and experiences related to health care access, chronic diseases, mental health, and other pressing health issues. The insights gained from this assessment will guide SGMC Health in developing effective strategies and programs tailored to the specific needs of the community.
Community members are encouraged to participate actively in this initiative, as their feedback will play a crucial role in shaping health services and improving overall community health outcomes.
