3 CHNA Content Requirements Findings and Action Plan Description of the community served and how that was determined Description of the process and methods used to conduct the CHNA Description of information gaps that may impact ability to assess needs Identity of any collaborating partners Identity and qualifications of any third party assisting with the CHNA Description of how input from the community was gathered and used Prioritized description of the health needs identified in CHNA Description of existing health care facilities and services within the community available to meet the needs identified. 3

10 Analysis During the 5 year period from , Jones County has experienced a greater improvement in teen pregnancy rate than the overall State of Mississippi. The teen pregnancy rate in Jones County decreased by more than 24 pregnancies per 1,000 during this 5 year period while the overall state of Mississippi only experienced a 13 pregnancy per 1,000 improvement. While our goal is to continue to reduce the teen pregnancy rate through abstinence education, the improvement realized during the last several years is demonstrated the programs South Central has provided to the schools. 10

11 Teen Pregnancy Rate from The Mississippi State Department of Health defines teen pregnancy rate as the number of pregnancies of women ages 10 to 19 per 1,000 women in this age group. The following are the teen pregnancy rates as determined and reported by the Mississippi State Department of Health for the years 2007 to 2011: Jones County Sstst State of Mississippi

12 Analysis continues. In 2005, Jones County s teen pregnancy rate (55) was significantly higher than the state average (43). Now, 5 years later Jones County has improved such that it is now in line with the state average (30.4 vs. 30.1). The most significant improvements in Jones County s teen pregnancy rates have occurred since There was a 6 pregnancies per 1,000 improvement from 2009 to 2010 and a 10 pregnancies per 1,000 improvement from 2010 to The 2012 statistics have not been released yet. 12

42 HEALTH ISSUE 1. TEENAGE PREGNANCY 42

43 Implementation Plan: Teenage Pregnancy. Contributor: Unprotected Sex. Promote abstinence campaign in the public schools. Include the negative impact of alcohol and drugs on the body.

44 HEALTH ISSUE 2. OBESITY 44

45 Implementation Plan: Obesity Contributor: Poor eating habits and lack of exercise. Provide Health Education To The Community Focusing on Obesity Develop a schedule for the year for HealthBreak, South Central Vision, Health Fairs, and Community Education Programs (Speaking of Women Seminars, PJ s and Pearls Event) including topics associated with obesity including: Good Nutrition The Importance of Getting Regular Check Ups The Importance of Exercise Calorie Counting How To Read Food Labels Understanding Good and Bad Cholesterol Understanding High Blood Pressure. Understanding Heart Disease Impact of Diabetes On The Body Appropriate Weight By Height and Gender Monitor the number of individuals receiving the information. 45

46 Implementation Plan: Obesity Target Group: South Central Employees Develop a health program focusing on healthy eating and exercise for South Central employees. Develop a true diet plate program. Mark healthy foods in the cafeteria so employees will begin to understand what foods are healthy and those that are unhealthy. Promote the importance of a well balanced diet & exercise. Provide portion information so employees will understand the correct amount of food that should be eaten. Add more fruits and vegetables in the cafeteria. Enhance the salad bar, but educate about the appropriate portion size & calories in dressing. Include healthy snacks in the vending machines. Mark the healthy snacks so employees will know the difference. Encourage employees to drink 8, 8 oz. glasses of water a day. Explain the benefits of drinking water instead of soft drinks. Develop pre test at the beginning of the initiative and post test at the conclusion of the program. Also monitor reported weight loss. 46

50 KEY HEALTH FACTORS Issues Not Addressed in the 2013/2014 Plan And Why: Most all of the health problems identified through South Central Regional Medical Center s Community Health Needs Assessment occur due to poor nutrition and exercise, and the lack of community education. To be effective, we are targeting 3 key areas this year. The areas targeted this year are cancer, poor health and nutrition, and teen pregnancy. Others will be selected later. 50
