FOR THIS ASSESSMENT, THE CHATHAM COUNTY COMMUNITY SURVEY (CCCS) WAS IMPLEMENTED TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT INPUT FROM A BROAD REPRESENTATION. THE CCCS WAS CONDUCTED USING THE COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT (CA) COHORT, WHICH WAS INITIATED IN 2018 THROUGH A STRUCTURED PROTOCOL APPROVED BY CHATHAM COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT (CCPHD) AND THE SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAC). THE CCCS WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVISIT THE ORIGINAL SAMPLING SCHEME AND MODIFY THE SAMPLING SCHEME TO REFLECT RECENT CHANGES IN THE CHATHAM COUNTY POPULATION USING THE MOST CURRENT DATA AVAILABLE FROM THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU. ADDITIONALLY, CCPHD WANTED TO EXPAND THE COHORT TO REPLACE THOSE LOST TO FOLLOW-UP AND TO RECRUIT MORE PARTICIPANTS FOR BETTER REPRESENTATION FROM BLACK/AFRICAN AMERICAN AND HISPANIC/LATINX COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THE SAMPLING METHODOLOGY WAS MODIFIED FIRST TO ACCOUNT FOR CHANGES IN THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME ACROSS CENSUS BLOCK GROUPS. USING THIS DATA, THE CENSUS BLOCKS WERE GROUPED INTO THREE CATEGORIES, LOW, MEDIUM AND HIGH INCOMES, REPRESENTING THE PERCENTILES OF THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME DISTRIBUTION ACROSS CENSUS BLOCKS. TO ENSURE AN EVEN NUMBER OF CENSUS BLOCKS IN EACH STRATUM AND TO EXPAND THE CA COHORT, ADDITIONAL CENSUS BLOCKS WERE SELECTED FOR A TOTAL OF 76 CENSUS BLOCKS INCLUDED IN THE CA COHORT SAMPLING. THE ADDITIONAL BLOCKS WERE SELECTED WITH PROBABILITY PROPORTIONATE TO THE BLACK AND HISPANIC OR LATINO POPULATION. FOR EACH NEWLY SAMPLED CENSUS BLOCK 7 HOUSEHOLDS RANDOMLY SAMPLED FROM RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS DATA, AND FOR THE ORiGINALLY SAMPLED BLOCKS WITH EXISTING COHORT MEMBERS, REPLACEMENT HOUSEHOLDS WERE RANDOMLY SAMPLED AND ADDED AS NECESSARY WiTHIN EACH BLOCK TO OBTAIN A TOTAL OF 7 HOUSEHOLDS IN EACH BLOCK. IN FALL 2021, GIVEN A SURGE IN COVID-19 AND ELEVATED COMMUNITY TRANSMISSION, THE DECISION WAS MADE TO FOREGO IN-PERSON DATA COLLECTION AND REACH OUT TO COHORT MEMBERS THROUGH MAIL, PHONE, AND EMAIL. TO ACCOUNT FOR THE ANTICIPATED LOW RESPONSE RATE WITH THE ABSENCE OF IN-PERSON SURVEYING, EACH OF THE CLUSTERS WERE OVERSAMPLED BY FOUR TIME THE ORIGINAL SELECTION, WITH AN OVERSAMPLING FROM 7 TO 28 HOUSEHOLDS. FOR SELECTED CLUSTERS WITH LESS THAN 28 HOUSEHOLDS, ALL WERE SELECTED AS PART OF THE OVERSAMPLE. WITH THE OVERSAMPLING, THE TOTAL OF 1,860 HOUSEHOLDS WERE SAMPLED. IN ADDITION TO THE COHORT SURVEY, A SHORT SUPPLEMENTAL SURVEY WAS OFFERED TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE CHATHAM COUNTY COMMUNITY AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE NOT SELECTED AS PART OF THE SAMPLE TO PARTICIPATE AND SHARE THOUGHTS ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES WITH HEALTH AND WELL-BEING IN CHATHAM COUNTY. OVERALL, 207 RESPONSES WERE COLLECTED FROM OCTOBER TO DECEMBER 2021.

"THE HOSPITAL HAS IDENTIFIED THE FOLLOWING THREE HEALTH PRIORITIES: MENTAL HEALTH SEVERAL KEY MENTAL HEALTH INDICATORS WORSENED IN RESULTS FROM THE 2018 CHATHAM COUNTY COMMUNITY SURVEY TO THE 2021 CHATHAM COUNTY COMMUNITY SURVEY, INCLUDING THE PERCENTAGE OF RESIDENTS REPORTING ""HIGH"" DAY-TO-DAY STRESS LEVELS (9.1% TO 10.7%), ""FAIR""POOR"" SELF-REPORTED MENTAL HEALTH (7.4% TO 11.3%), AND EVER HAVING ANXIETY OR DEPRESSION (20.1% TO 33.3%). YOUTH RISK BEHAVIOR SURVEY RESULTS FROM 2019 ALSO INDICATED THAT YOUTH IN CHATHAM COUNTY ARE EXPERIENCING HIGH LEVELS OF DEPRESSION AND OTHER MENTAL HEALTH STRESSES. WOMEN AND RESIDENTS OF COLOR WERE DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED. SUBSTANCE USE AND ACCESS TO SERVICES WERE ALSO CONCERNS, PARTICULARLY THE SHARP INCREASE IN UNINTENTIONAL OVERDOSE DEATH RATES IN RECENT YEARS. TRANSPORTATION ISSUES WITH TRANSPORTATION CAN LIMIT ACCESSS TO MANY SERVICES, ACTIVITIES, AND OPPORTUNITIES, SUCH AS WORK, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, HEALTHY FOOD STORES, AND HEALTH CARE. IN MANY PARTS OF THE COUNTY, ACCESS TO A VEHICLE IS CRUCIAL; ADDITIONALLY, CHATHAM COUNTY HAS JUST ONE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SERVICE, WHICH MANY RESIDENTS REPORTED NOT KNOWING ABOUT OR FELT WAS NOT CONVENIENT FOR THEIR NEEDS. SIDEWALKS WERE A COMMON TOPIC OF CONCERN IN THE 2021 CHATHAM COUNTY COMMUNITY SURVEY, WITH 16% OF ADULTS SAYING THERE WERE NO SIDEWALKS WHERE THEY NEEDED TO WALK, INCLUDING 26% OF HISPANIC/LATINX ADULTS. EMPLOYMENT EMPLOYMENT IS A CROSS-CUTTING ISSUE THAT IS INTERTWINED WITH MANY OTHER HEALTH PRIORITIES. WHILE CHATHAM COUNTY HAS A RELATIVELY LOW UNEMPLOYMENT RATE (3.6% AS OF MARCH 2022), MORE THAN HALF OF CHATHAM COUNTY WORKERS WORK OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTY (55.6%), ACCORDING TO THE U.S. CENSUS. AVERAGE WEEKLY WAGE IN THE COUNTY IS $839, COMPARED TO THE STATE AVERAGE OF $1,111, AS OF Q3 2021. THERE ARE ALSO STARK DISPARITIES IN MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME WITHIN THE COUNTY, WITH WHITE, NON-HISPANIC/LATINX RESIDENTS MAKING 1.6 TO 2.7 MORE PER YEAR THAN OTHER DEMOGRAPHIC GROUPS, ACCORDING TO THE U.S. CENSUS. LOSS OF EMPLOYMENT OR SWITCHING JOBS WAS ALSO A FACTOR FOR MANY WHO REPORTED NOT HAVING HEALTH INSURANCE IN THE 2021 CHATHAM COUNTY COMMUNITY SURVEY. UNC HEALTH CHATHAM'S STRATEGIC PLAN TO ADDRESS THE IDENTIFIED HEALTH PRIORITIES: 1. UNC HEALTH CHATHAM CNO/COO WILL CONTINUE AS A MEMBER OF THE CHATHAM HEALTH ALLIANCE STEERING COMMITTEE. 2. UNC HEALTH CHATHAM CNO/COO WILL CONTINUE AS A MEMBER OF THE CHATHAM HEALTH ALLIANCE. 3. UNC HEALTH CHATHAM WILL HAVE REPRESENTATION ON EACH HEALTH ALLIANCE SUBCOMMITTEES AND ACTIVELY WORK TO ADDRESS THE THREE MAIN HEALTH PRIORITIES OF MENTAL HEALTH, TRANSPORTATION, AND EMPLOYMENT. 4. UNC HEALTH CHATHAM WILL WORK CLOSELY WITH UNC PHYSICIAN'S NETWORK TO INCREASE OUTPATIENT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ACCESS. 5. UNC HEALTH CHATHAM WILL CONTINUE PROVIDING TELE PSYCHIATRY PROGRAM IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT THROUGH UNCMC EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT PSYCHIATRIC PROVIDERS. 6. UNC HEALTH CHATHAM WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THE CHARITY CARE PROGRAM. 7. UNC HEALTH CHATHAM WILL CONTINUE GROWING AND DEVELOPING OUTPATIENT PROGRAMS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMAGING, CARDIOPULMONARY, MATERNAL CARE, AND SURGICAL SERVICES ACCESS. 8. UNC HEALTH CHATHAM WILL CONTINUE TO COLLABORATE WITH CHATHAM COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT ON COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DIABETES AND ON-GOING COVID PANDEMIC RESPONSE. 9. UNC HEALTH CHATHAM WILL CONTINUE TO COLLABORATE WITH UNC PHYSICIANS NETWORK ON PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY CARE SERVICES FOR CHATHAM COUNTY. THIS THREE-YEAR COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) STRATEGIC IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (SIP) WAS PRESENTED AND ADOPTED BY THE CHATHAM HOSPITAL BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON NOVEMBER 7, 2022 WITH THE VISION THAT UNC HEALTH CHATHAM WILL USE THE PLAN AS A ROAD MAP TO TRACK AND ASSESS PROGRESS TOWARDS MEETING THE COMMUNITY HEALTH GOALS. CHATHAM CHNA TASK FORCE WILL MAKE ADJUSTMENTS ALONG THE WAY ENABLING COLLABORATION WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS WHILE RESPONDING TO LOCAL CONDITIONS AND CHANGES IN COMMUNITY PRIORITIES AND LEADERSHIP. UNC HEALTH CHATHAM WILL EVALUATE PROGRESS AT THE END OF EACH CALENDAR YEAR AND MODIFY THE PLAN ACCORDINGLY. THE REMAINING TOP HEALTH ISSUES THAT CHATHAM HOSPITAL WILL NOT BE ADDRESSING INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: ACTIVITIES FOR YOUTH, CHILDCARE, BUILT ENVIRONMENT, HEALTHCARE ACCESS, HEALTHY AGING, HEALTHY FOOD SYSTEMS, AND SUBSTANCE USE SUPPORT/TREATMENT. WHILE CHATHAM HOSPITAL RECOGNIZES THESE HEALTH NEEDS, THEIR RESOURCES ARE BETTER USED IN ADDRESSING THE TOP THREE HEALTH PRIORITIES LISTED ABOVE."
