Vanderbilt University Medical Center's (VUMC) 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) includes a description of the significant health needs identified and prioritized by the communities through the CHNA process. In 2022, the CHNA prioritization of significant health needs involved multiple phases. VUMC and its partners gathered and analyzed primary data from various community members and partners. Additionally, VUMC reviewed over 100 health indicators from publicly available secondary data sources and conducted an environmental scan in each county representing the community served. In each of the five counties the 2022 CHNA focused on (Bedford, Coffee, Davidson, Rutherford, and Williamson Counties), VUMC convened prioritization meetings, which included local health departments, community leaders representing several sectors and various organizations, community members, as well as individuals who participated in interviews. The results of VUMC's health assessment were presented in the prioritization meetings, and participants were asked to prioritize their communities' most pressing health needs through interactive exercises-each county's prioritization process generated prioritized needs with commonalities across counties. Individual county needs are described at length in VUMC's 2022 CHNA. VUMC grouped the identified needs into four overarching categories to serve as its prioritized needs: Access to Care, Equity, Chronic Disease and Preventative Care, and Social Drivers of Health.

Facility , 1 - Vanderbilt University Medical Center Hospitals. Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) identified four significant health needs in the 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). The four significant health needs identified are - alphabetically - 1) Access to Care, 2) Equity, 3) Chronic Disease and Preventative Care, and 4) Social Drivers of Health. VUMC addresses all four needs within the 2022 Implementation Strategy (IS). The 2022 IS includes a multitude of actions aimed at addressing needs identified by the community. VUMC's plan to evaluate impact is embedded within each action. A few specific actions are described in detail below. VUMC's Office of Health Equity (OHE) released a Request for Proposals for community projects addressing one or more CHNA priority areas, specifically soliciting proposals addressing health equity and broader policy, environmental, or systems change. Organizations were selected to receive these awards after a competitive review with a committee of academic and community reviewers. The grantees received up to $10,000 to complete their work over 12 months. The VUMC's OHE is currently planning for the seventh cycle of this mini-grant program. To date, the program has supported 51 community projects. The VUMC's OHE continues to support local health departments and health councils in all five counties in developing their Community Health Improvement Plans (CHIP), which outline their strategies to address the health needs identified through the Community Health Assessment. The team also participates in health council meetings to develop goals, objectives, and evaluation metrics for the CHIP. VUMC's participation in this work allows the OHE to bring VUMC resources and valuable community health data to address health disparities in the community and align the priorities identified in the CHNA with the CHIP objectives. In Davidson County, VUMC is involved in collaboratives focused on the four prioritized needs. The Safety Net Consortium of Middle Tennessee (SNC), which focuses on access to and quality of care for groups that lack access to healthcare and health insurance, continues to meet monthly and launched My Health Care Home. This web-based tool facilitates finding and accessing federally qualified health centers and faith-based and charitable clinics that serve groups lacking healthcare and health insurance access. Leaders from the Office of Population Health, the Meharry-Vanderbilt Alliance, and the Office of Health Equity participate in SNC meetings. The VUMC's OHE is actively engaged with the Healthy Nashville Leadership Council, and the Associate Vice President Chairs this mayoral-appointed committee. The workgroup's focus is to educate the community on topics related to addressing health inequities, strengthening capacity, and advancing equity for minority-led non-profit organizations that are on the front lines of promoting health equity and well-being in marginalized and minoritized communities. VUMC's OHE has increased its knowledge of health equity by presenting Seeds of Equity training internally and externally. The team will have presented the Seeds of Equity training (created by the Healthy Nashville Leadership Council) 8 times during tax year 2022 to audiences of about 10 to 100 persons. While this training is specific to Nashville, the VUMC's OHE is working with community partners in other counties of focus to expand the reach of the training. VUMC staff has also participated in the opioid task force (currently known as WE CARE Coalition) spear-headed by Saint Thomas Rutherford, the Prevention Coalition for Success, and the Patterson Park Coalition. VUMC's OHE also participates in the Rutherford County Wellness Council. In Williamson County, VUMC's OHE also participates in local community groups such as the Anti-Drug Coalition, Franklin Justice, Equity Coalition, and the Williamson County Health Council, which promotes community health and equity improvements. The OHE has addressed the Williamson Health Council meeting to share the four priorities and data from the CHNA.

Additionally, OHE is actively supporting a CHIP aimed at enhancing the availability of mental health and substance use resources in the community. The VUMC's OHE partnered with VUMC's Adult Ambulatory Nursing Services and Charis Health Center on a health equity toolkit project. This aims to educate and equip community members, particularly those with limited access to health insurance and homebound residents, with the knowledge to make informed decisions about their health. The project will improve health outcomes through a culturally tailored toolkit and home visits, hoping to increase knowledge of chronic conditions and impact health literacy. The reach of health-related materials and resources will be expanded, prioritizing non-English speaking residents and other marginalized groups. VUMC's Office of Health Equity has increased its working knowledge of health equity by presenting Seeds of Equity training internally and externally.

Facility , 1 - Vanderbilt Bedford County Hospital. Vanderbilt Bedford County Hospital identified four significant health needs in the 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). The four significant health needs identified are :1) Access to Care, 2) Equity, 3) Chronic Disease and Preventative Care, and 4) Social Drivers of Health. VUMC addresses all four needs within the 2022 Implementation Strategy (IS). The 2022 IS includes a multitude of actions aimed at addressing needs identified by the community. VUMC's plan to evaluate impact is embedded within each action. A few specific actions are described in detail below. VUMC's Office of Health Equity (OHE) released a Request for Proposals for community projects addressing one or more CHNA priority areas, specifically soliciting proposals addressing health equity and broader policy, environmental, or systems change. Organizations were selected to receive these awards after a competitive review with a committee of academic and community reviewers. The grantees received up to $10,000 to complete their work over 12 months. The VUMC's OHE is currently planning for the seventh cycle of this mini-grant program. To date, the program has supported 51 community projects. The VUMC's OHE continues to support local health departments and health councils in all five counties in developing their Community Health Improvement Plans (CHIP), which outline their strategies to address the health needs identified through the Community Health Assessment. The team also participates in health council meetings to develop goals, objectives, and evaluation metrics for the CHIP. VUMC's participation in this work allows the OHE to bring VUMC resources and valuable community health data to address health disparities in the community and align the priorities identified in the CHNA with the CHIP objectives. In Davidson County, VUMC is involved in collaboratives focused on the four prioritized needs. The Safety Net Consortium of Middle Tennessee (SNC), which focuses on access to and quality of care for groups that lack access to healthcare and health insurance, continues to meet monthly and launched My Health Care Home. This web-based tool facilitates finding and accessing federally qualified health centers and faith-based and charitable clinics that serve groups lacking healthcare and health insurance access. Leaders from the Office of Population Health, the Meharry-Vanderbilt Alliance, and the Office of Health Equity participate in SNC meetings. The VUMC's OHE is actively engaged with the Healthy Nashville Leadership Council, and the Associate Vice President Chairs this mayoral-appointed committee. The workgroup's focus is to educate the community on topics related to addressing health inequities, strengthening capacity, and advancing equity for minority-led non-profit organizations that are on the front lines of promoting health equity and well-being in marginalized and minoritized communities. VUMC's OHE has increased its knowledge of health equity by presenting Seeds of Equity training internally and externally. The team will have presented the Seeds of Equity training (created by the Healthy Nashville Leadership Council) 8 times during tax year 2022 to audiences of about 10 to 100 persons. While this training is specific to Nashville, the VUMC's OHE is working with community partners in other counties of focus to expand the reach of the training. VUMC staff has also participated in the opioid task force (currently known as WE CARE Coalition) spear-headed by Saint Thomas Rutherford, the Prevention Coalition for Success, and the Patterson Park Coalition. VUMC's OHE also participates in the Rutherford County Wellness Council. In Williamson County, VUMC's OHE also participates in local community groups such as the Anti-Drug Coalition, Franklin Justice, Equity Coalition, and the Williamson County Health Council, which promotes community health and equity improvements. The OHE has addressed the Williamson Health Council meeting to share the four priorities and data from the CHNA.

Vanderbilt Stallworth Rehabilitation Hospital's (Stallworth) 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) includes a description of the significant health needs identified and prioritized by the communities through the CHNA process. In 2022, the CHNA prioritization of significant health needs involved multiple phases. VUMC and its partners gathered and analyzed primary data from various community members and partners. Additionally, VUMC reviewed over 100 health indicators from publicly available secondary data sources and conducted an environmental scan in each county representing the community served. In each of the five counties the 2022 CHNA focused on (Bedford, Coffee, Davidson, Rutherford, and Williamson Counties), VUMC convened prioritization meetings, which included local health departments, community leaders representing several sectors and various organizations, community members, as well as individuals who participated in interviews. The results of VUMC's health assessment were presented in the prioritization meetings, and participants were asked to prioritize their communities' most pressing health needs through interactive exercises-each county's prioritization process generated prioritized needs with commonalities across counties. Individual county needs are described at length in VUMC's 2022 CHNA. VUMC grouped the identified needs into four overarching categories to serve as its prioritized needs: Access to Care, Equity, Chronic Disease and Preventative Care, and Social Drivers of Health.
