This Community Health Needs Assessment is the result of a partnership between Presence Health, the Illinois Public Health Institute and a diverse group of community organizations and local leaders. In July 2012, a Steering Committee was created to address the overall goal of improving the health and well-being of the community with a special focus on the needs of the most vulnerable.
