Community Health Needs Assessment

As part of the Affordable Care Act, tax-exempt hospitals are required to complete a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) once every three years. While Neosho Memorial Regional Medical Center (NMRMC) is not a 501(c)(3) hospital, this study is designed to comply with the same standards and helps assure that NMRMC identifies and responds to the primary health needs of its residents and enables NMRMC to focus their efforts and resources on the most significant health needs of the community.

In 2025, a CHNA was conducted and identified the greatest health needs in our community. The 2025 report includes a comprehensive assessment of Neosho County, Kansas.

The analyses include a careful review of the most current health data available, demographics and input from numerous community representatives. The process culminates in the development of an Implementation Plan to address the significant needs identified through the CHNA. The CHNA and Implementation Plan report was presented to and approved by the Hospital Board on November 20, 2025. NMRMC will utilize its 2025 plan as a guide over the next three years to offer programs that support the health of the community and the mission of the organization.
