In keeping with our mission of caring for all in the community, CHI Memorial dedicates significant resources for programs and services that increase access to health care for the poor and uninsured and improve the health of our community. Community benefit takes many forms, and we are pleased to share CHI Memorial's 2018 Community Benefit Report.
The Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) defines priorities for health improvement, creates a collaborative community environment to engage stakeholders, and an open and transparent process to listen and truly understand the health needs of the community served by CHI Memorial in Hamilton County, Tennessee and Catoosa and Walker Counties in Georgia. The 2016 CHNA and Community Benefit Implementation Plan 2017-2020 are available for review.
Each year between December 15 – January 31, CHI Memorial receives applications from non-profit agencies for consideration for the following fiscal year, which is July 1 – June 30. Each request must include a brief description of the project with clear statements detailing the goals and objectives and anticipated outcomes. Please review CHI Memorial’s guidelines for community support, funding application and funding evaluation.
CHI Memorial partners with Project Access, the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Health Department, the Homeless Health Care Clinic, the Samaritan Center, Catholic Charities and other agencies to ensure that medical care is available for everyone.
