Community Health Network Areas (CHNAs)

Community Health Network Areas (CHNAs) are geographic zones defined to organize and coordinate healthcare services within a specific region. They help public health agencies, providers, and community organizations work together to address local health needs, allocate resources, and improve health outcomes. By focusing on these areas, efforts can be tailored to the unique challenges and strengths of the community, promoting more effective prevention, treatment, and health promotion activities. Essentially, CHNAs serve as a framework to guide targeted, community-specific health interventions and planning.
