The South Jersey Health Collaborative partners have worked together since 2013 to create a collective CHNA for the region, as rigorous and inclusive process conducted every three years, in accordance with the with the Affordable Care Act. This collective action has generated robust, shared regional data and Community Health Improvement Plans for collective action to further the hospitals’ commitment to community health and population health management.
This 2022 CHNA builds upon Virtua Health’s 2013, 2016 and 2019 collaborative regional reports in accordance with the timelines and requirements set out in the Affordable Care Act. A wide variety of methods and tools were used to analyze the data collected both from community members and other sources throughout the region, leveraging socially distanced in person conversations, video conferencing, phone calls and survey tools. The findings gathered through this collaborative, inclusive process will be used to guide community benefit initiatives at Virtua Health and will engage the South Jersey Health Collaborative agencies and other community partners to address Virtua Health’s identified needs.

Past CHNA Reports:
2019 CHNAThe 2022 South Jersey Health Collaborative (SJHC) CHNA reviewed health indicators, hosted focus groups with diverse populations, including youth, and solicited feedback through key informant survey and stakeholder interviews to interpret the quantitative and qualitative information collected through a lens of health equity – and opportunities to work toward equitable outcomes for all people. The impact of the inequities in social determinants of health are most evident among health outcomes in key areas: access to care, chronic disease, behavioral health, mental health among youth and maternal and child health.
Over the next three years, Virtua Health, in collaboration with community partners and local public health agencies will work toward implementing strategies to address the concerns identified by our community providing the resources to Be Well, Get Well and Stay Well.
