2019 Community Health Needs Assessment
County-Specific Summaries
The Rutherford and Williamson County summaries were drawn from the VUMC board-approved CHNA. The Davidson County summary is the Healthy Nashville Community Health Assessment, which is a Davidson County-specific report prepared by Metro Public Health Department in collaboration with VUMC and Ascension Saint Thomas Health.
Community Health Improvement Plans
Each county health department is responsible for developing a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP)- which is an action-oriented plan outlining the priority community health issues and the strategies for addressing them. CHIPs are considered to be living documents for the community and can be found below!
