Health and Fitness : Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) Stakeholder Meeting

Benton County Public Health will be conducting our next Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) in 2026. The CHNA is a vital tool for identifying the most pressing health & human service needs within Benton County. It helps to guide and support local health initiatives by assessing community strengths, identifying gaps in services, and clarifying top health priorities for citizens.

Many health and human service organizations in our area rely on data collected through the CHNA to inform their strategic initiatives, strengthen grant applications, and tailor programs and services to better meet the specific needs of our community.

A key part of the initial CHNA process is identifying & analyzing groups & individuals in Benton County who play a crucial role in community health, and to further develop a diverse workgroup to be involved in the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) process.

You are invited to attend a virtual informational meeting regarding the 2026 CHNA via Microsoft Teams on one of the following dates; information shared will be the same, so please select whichever date fits your schedule best.
