Governments at all levels (national, state, and local) across the United States are faced with rising demands for health care, limited resources, and increasing inequality in health. A community health needs assessment has a central part to play, enabling public health practitioners, managers, and policymakers to identify those in greatest need and to ensure that healthcare resources are used effectively to maximize health improvement. What is one way in which a community health needs assessment has been used to address a health need that you are familiar with in your community?
Discuss the health needs assessment they identified and whether or not it has also been used within your community.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
