Community Health Needs Assessment

Riverside Medical Center partners with the Kankakee County Health Department, Ascension St. Mary Hospital, The United Way of Kankakee and Iroquois Counties, and representatives from multiple other service providers within the community to provide leadership, staffing, and funding for the Partnership for a Healthy Community. For this most recent Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), this group began its work in 2023 and continued through 2024 to develop a refreshed plan for 2025-2027.

The Partnership for a Healthy Community contracted with the Illinois Public Health Institute to facilitate the MAPP 20 assessments strategic priorities, and focus areas. The purpose of the Implementation Plan is to articulate Riverside Medical Center’s specific support for these community-identified priorities.
