Caring for our Lancaster community
Community health in Lancaster
True wellness is about health and security in all aspects of life, from having a stable place to live to access to healthy foods. Our Community Health team provides the tools, resources, guidance, and education you need to help you get and stay healthy. We’re committed to making Lancaster County a healthier place for all of us.
Community Health Needs Assessment
Every three years, we conduct an in-depth Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). This evaluation helps us understand the key health concerns in our community. After the assessment, we develop a Community Health Implementation Plan (CHIP) to address those public health needs and enhance our community’s well-being.
Community programs
In addition to providing advanced medicine and high-quality health care, we support a wide range of community programs. We partner with other community-based organizations to offer safe and healthy housing resources, mental health education and prevention, substance abuse and addiction services, healthy food access and distribution programs, and a variety of child safety programs.
