BRGMC HAS DETERMINED THAT THESE TOP 4 PRIORITIES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO GREATLY INFLUENCE MORE THAN ONE AREA OF NEED AND THE GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR COMMUNITY-WIDE POSITIVE IMPACT. BRGMC AND ITS COMMUNITY PARTNERS HAVE COLLABORATED ON A THREE YEAR JOINT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN THAT WILL ADDRESS THESE NEEDS ACROSS THE BATON ROUGE COMMUNITY. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT OTHER PARTICIPANTS HAVE ELECTED THEIR OWN TOP 4 PRIORITIES ON A COORDINATED BASIS SO AS TO PROVIDE A HIGH LEVEL OF DEPTH AND VALUE OF WHAT WE COLLECTIVELY BRING TO THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS. MUCH MORE INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE AS TO THE EFFORTS OF THE TAXPAYER AT THE URL LISTED ON PAGE 4, QUES. 10A AS WELL AS THE FOLLOWING: HTTP://WWW.HEALTHYBR.COM/BE-SMART/COMMUNITY-HEALTH-NEEDS-ASSESSMENT.

IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL REGULATIONS, EACH HOSPITAL MUST SUBMIT AN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN THAT SPEAKS TO HOW THEY WILL ADDRESS EACH IDENTIFIED SIGNIFICANT NEED. ALONG WITH THE JOINT CHNA, THE COLLABORATING HOSPITALS HAVE CHOSEN TO SUBMIT A JOINT COMMUNITY IMPLEMENTATION PLAN THAT OUTLIES THE COMMUNITY-LEVEL STEPS THE HOSPITALS AND THE MHCI PARTNERS TAKE TO ADDRESS EACH SIGNIFICANT NEED IDENTIFIED.
