St. Luke seeks input for Community Health Needs Assessment
Lake County Leader | UPDATED 3 days, 1 hour AGO
St. Luke Community Healthcare is inviting Mission Valley residents to share their voice and help shape the future of local healthcare by participating in its 2026 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA).
Conducted every three years, the CHNA is a vital tool used by nonprofit hospitals to better understand the most pressing health needs in the communities they serve. The process gathers input from community members, healthcare providers, and local partners to identify priorities and guide future programs, services, and investments.
“At St. Luke, we believe it takes a village to build a healthier community,” said St. Luke CEO Steve Todd. “This survey is an opportunity for every member of our community to be heard and to help us better understand what’s working well and where we can continue to grow.”
The survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete and includes questions about health concerns, access to care, and overall well-being in the Mission Valley. Community input plays a critical role in identifying health priorities, addressing gaps in services, and improving outcomes for individuals and families across the region.
All responses are confidential and will be used only in aggregate to inform the final CHNA report. The findings will help guide St. Luke’s strategic planning and community benefit initiatives over the next three years.
As a thank-you for participation, St. Luke is offering an opportunity to enter a drawing for one of five $50 cash cards. Participants may choose to provide their email at the end of the survey to enter; survey responses will not be linked to personal information.
To take the online survey, visit stlukehealthcare.org/chna/. Survey results and key findings will be shared via St. Luke’s website and social media once the assessment is complete.
St. Luke Community Healthcare encompasses a 25-bed critical access hospital, clinics in Ronan, Polson and St. Ignatius, as well as St. Luke Extended Care facility in Ronan.
