Community Benefit

Improving the lives of our community members

As a nonprofit health system, our calling is to provide a public service to help improve the lives of our friends and neighbors in the Yuba-Sutter region and beyond. To live out this calling and responsibility, we invest in understanding our community’s health needs. We take this information and use it to inform each step of our community benefit work.

Making an impact for our community

Adventist Health and Rideout conducts a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) every three years, with our most recent report completed in 2022. After our communities’ voices, stories and priority areas are reflected in the CHNA, our next step is to complete a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP), or as we refer to it, a Community Health Implementation Strategy (CHIS).

The priority areas outlined in our most recent Community Health Needs Assessment are:

  • Access to mental, behavioral, and substance abuse services
  • Access to basic needs such as housing, jobs, and food
  • Access to quality primary care health services

Together with Adventist Health leaders, local public health officials, community-based organizations, medical providers, students, parents, and members of selected underserved, low-income, and minority populations, Adventist Health and Rideout intentionally develops a strategic plan to address the needs of our community.
