Community Health Needs Assessment
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Introduction
This Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) was conducted to identify significant community health needs and to inform development of an Implementation Strategy that addresses them.
Indiana University Health Ball Memorial Hospital (IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital or “the hospital”) is a preferred healthcare facility for residents of East Central Indiana. The hospital was founded in 1929 as both a teaching hospital and regional referral center for Muncie, Indiana and surrounding counties. IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital offers 45 medical specialties, including cancer care, cardiology, orthopedics and specialized services for women and children. The IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital Medical Education department is home to three residencies (family medicine, internal medicine and a transitional year) as well as a research department. More than 60 resident physicians are trained every year at IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital Family Medicine and Internal Medicine clinics and conduct more than 25,000 patient visits annually.
The hospital is part of Indiana University Health (IU Health), the largest and most comprehensive health system in the state of Indiana. IU Health, in partnership with Indiana University School of Medicine, one of the nation’s leading medical schools, gives patients access to leading-edge medicine and treatment options that are available first, and often only, at IU Health. Additional information about IU Health is available at: https://iuhealth.org/.
Each IU Health hospital is dedicated to the community it serves. Each hospital conducts a CHNA to understand current community health needs and to inform strategies designed to improve community health, including initiatives designed to address social determinants of health. The CHNAs are conducted using widely accepted methodologies to identify the significant needs of a specific community. The assessments also are conducted to comply with federal laws and regulatory requirements that apply to tax-exempt hospitals.
IU Health invites community members to review the community health needs assessments and provide comments to communitybenefit@iuhealth.org.
