What Does a Healthier Bates County Look Like to You?
Your Voice Matters: Take the 2025 Community Health Needs Assessment Survey
Bates County Memorial Hospital is partnering with other local healthcare providers to update the 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) for Bates County, Missouri. This important assessment helps identify key health needs and priorities in our community, and we want to hear from you.
Why Your Input Matters
The goal of the 2025 CHNA is to build on the progress made since the previous assessments in 2016, 2019, and 2022. We’re looking to:
- Measure improvements in health outcomes and services
- Identify unmet needs in the community
- Gather current perceptions about health and healthcare access
Take the Survey by August 15
We’ve created a short, confidential online survey to collect input from residents and business leaders across the county. The survey takes just a few minutes to complete and will remain open through August 15, 2025.
Save the Date
As part of this project, BCMH will host a Community Town Hall to share findings from the survey and continue the conversation. All are welcome to attend.
