“Executive Summary From September 2015 through March 2016, Providence Hospital ("Providence"), in collaboration with other community organizations and agencies, conducted a community health needs assessment ("assessment") for Mobile County. This needs assessment is for Mobile County, Alabama, the county of residence for approximately 83 percent of Providence inpatients. Input from the community included persons with a broad knowledge of the community, health and human services providers, stakeholders and representatives of the public. Special attention was given to obtaining input from the medically underserved and vulnerable populations. Key informants included individuals with public health expertise, state and local officials, community leaders and healthcare consumers. Quantitative data were obtained from county, state, and national sources in order to develop a social, economic, and health assessment of Mobile County. The indicators included public health surveillance data, such as deaths and births. Sixty-six health indicators for Mobile County were compared and contrasted to those for the state and surrounding counties. In addition, local data were compared to previous years' data from Mobile County, highlighting improvements and statistical trends. To identify the issues of greatest priority for the community, the indicator results were evaluated using the County Health Rankings Model created by the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The model emphasizes factors that, when improved, can help improve the overall health of a community. This model has three major components: Health Outcomes, Health Factors, Programs and Policies. Of the 66 health status indicators, Mobile County was worse than the state average on 44 indicators. Prioriziation of the community health issues was a multi-step process that included: * Review and discussion of all of the top health concerns and associated indicator data. * Identificaton and discussion of consequences of not addressing the issue. * Consideration of key criteria for impacting change. Through the assessment process described in further detail in this report, the top priority health issues identified for Mobile County are: a) Access to Care b) Weight c) Mental Health/Substance Abuse”
