Community Health Needs Assessment & Action Plan

We invite you to visit Olmsted County's website to learn more about the Community Health Assessment and Planning (CHAP) process.

The Community Health Assessment Process is about improving the health and well-being of residents in Olmsted County. Every three years the community conducts a health needs assessment to determine Olmsted County’s leading health priorities; formulate a plan to address the needs; and publish an annual progress report. Olmsted County Public Health, Mayo Clinic, and Olmsted Medical Center engage with diverse partners across our community to lead this process.


Under the provisions of the Affordable Care Act of 2010, Olmsted Medical Center is required to conduct a formal community health needs assessment every three years. The assessment is to include identification of the most pressing healthcare issues in the community, implementation of programs to address these issues, and documentation of progress towards meeting the needs on the annual IRS Form 990 report.
