Community Investments
Our Center for Community Health Advancement (CCHA) health educators and community health experts at Marshfield Clinic Health System are committed to enriching lives by helping individuals and communities achieve their best health. Since 2012, CCHA, in collaboration with Security Health Plan, has offered community health grants and stipends supporting local initiatives, program and processes that address community health needs.
CCHA focuses on community health needs identified through Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNAs) and Community Health Assessments (CHAs) that are completed by county health departments and our local hospitals. All communities have identified alcohol and other substance use, behavioral health, chronic disease, and social determinants of health as top priorities. Our investments of funding and other resources are allocated to make an impact on these community health areas.
