People in Shelby County are being invited to share their views on health issues in the county.  HSHS Good Shepherd Hospital is asking them to complete a survey on the topic.  The healthcare provider says it will help guide their efforts over the next three years.

Those who would like to take the survey can do so at this link.  Hard copies are also available at the Shelby County Health Department and in the emergency department at Good Shepherd Hospital. 

This effort will satisfy a requirement from the Affordable Care Act, which mandates that nonprofit hospitals conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment (CNHA) every three years.  The hospital will then produce a Community Health Implementation Plan, identifying its priorities over the next three years.  The final report will be available by November.
