On Thursday, March 10 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m., Saint Anthony Hospital will host its Community Health Improvement Committee, open to the public, at the Arturo Velazquez Institute, 2800 South Western Avenue. This forum will give community organizations, leaders and residents an overview of the Community Health Needs Assessment that was completed and assist the committee in setting top health priorities to address disparities within the communities the hospital serves. Saint Anthony Hospital’s diverse neighborhoods include North Lawndale, Little Village, Pilsen, Brighton Park, McKinley Park, Back of the Yards and Archer Heights, as well as suburban Austin and Cicero. With the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, hospitals like Saint Anthony Hospital are mandated by the federal government to complete a Community Health Needs Assessment. To engage the communities we serve and gain the input needed for this invaluable assessment, the Community Wellness Program decided to form a Community Health Improvement Committee.
