Understanding community need

Are you under pressure to meet state or federal requirements for completing a needs assessment? Or do you just want a better understanding of the need in your community to make sure your work aligns? Perhaps you’re trying to establish if there’s a need for a new site, service line, or program?

We are experienced at providing mixed-methods community health needs assessments of all sizes, for health centers, health departments, and other types of nonprofit organizations. Let us help you understand your community and get greater clarity on how to serve them.

Helping you understand your community’s needs

HRSA Needs Assessments

FQHCs, don’t let your operational site visit sneak up on you without a needs assessment in place! We conduct mixed-methods analyses and develop robust written reports that meet – and exceed – HRSA requirements.

Community Health Needs Assessments

Health department assessments are key to maintaining compliance and understanding local demographic trends, needs, assets, and stakeholder perceptions. Let us help with it all: analysis, facilitation, and report development.

Feasibility or Market Assessments

Wondering if your organization could become a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC)? Or contemplating launching a new site or service? Our feasibility or market assessments help you make informed, strategic decisions.

Program Evaluation and Assessment

Need to better understand your program’s effectiveness, or share a third-party evaluation with a funder? We use your program data, as well as surveys, interviews, and focus groups to develop a clear understanding of your impact.

Board Self-Assessment

Nonprofits thrive with strong leadership. We help your board and leadership assess its stage of organizational development, governance effectiveness, and FQHC compliance so you can better fulfill your mission.
