As a trusted leader for the communities it serves, Riverwood is proud to deliver high quality medicine from a team of caring and highly skilled healthcare professionals.
Riverwood Healthcare Center is committed to providing high-quality, personalized and compassionate care to the communities we serve. Every three years, Riverwood conducts a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) to better understand the communities we serve by identifying, analyzing and prioritizing community health needs. In collaboration with community partners, organizations and individuals along with statistics gathered from the state priority areas are identified and strategies are put in place to address the local health needs.
Riverwood is required to complete the CHNA every three years with input from the broader community. The CHNA is a federal requirement for private, non-profit hospitals. Part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the CHNA is criteria for hospitals to maintain their tax-exempt status.
If you have questions, or feedback regarding the CHNA please email pr@rwhealth.org
