Essentia Health seeks public input on community health needs

Essentia Health is inviting community members to provide input about community health needs in its service areas. This input opportunity is part of Essentia Health’s Community Health Needs Assessments, which are completed every three years and guide the work and partnerships of Essentia’s Community Health Department. The survey is available in both English and Spanish and can be accessed online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/EssentiaHealthCHNA. 

The survey specifically seeks to collect perspectives from members of the public about community conditions that impact health. These conditions include the ability to get an education, eat healthy foods and be physically active, among others. 

“The input we receive will help us make an informed decision about the most pressing community health needs throughout Minnesota, North Dakota and Wisconsin,” said Emily Kuenstler, Community Health Director at Essentia. “We hope to hear from as many residents in our area as possible, whether they choose to receive care at Essentia Health or at another health care system.”
