Community Health Needs

An assessment to understand New Orleans’ unique health needs

As a leading non-profit health system in the greater New Orleans area, LCMC Health is committed to meeting the wide-ranging health needs of our neighbors in every community we serve. We uphold this commitment by conducting comprehensive Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNA) to identify the most significant health needs across our region and develop strategies to address them.

While developing our assessment, we used a collaborative process in the communities surrounding each of our hospitals, listening to input from the people we serve, and working with organizations that share our commitment to improving health and quality of life. We found that our region’s health concerns are pressing and diverse, from increasing access to affordable care to addressing chronic conditions that are limiting quality of life for many people in our communities.

With eight hospitals throughout the greater New Orleans area, LCMC Health already has many programs to address our region’s health needs. We are committed to doing even more by collaborating with community partners on services and solutions, using the CHNA as our roadmap.
