Bates County Memorial Hospital, in collaboration with local healthcare partners and community leaders, is updating the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) for Bates County, Missouri. This effort builds on previous assessments conducted in 2016, 2019, and 2022, and aims to identify current health needs and guide future improvements in healthcare delivery across the county.
To support this work, we’re inviting residents and business leaders to share their input through a short, confidential online survey, open now through August 15, 2025. Your feedback will help us evaluate what’s changed, what’s improved, and what still needs attention when it comes to health and wellness in our community.
An independent research firm, VVV Consultants LLC of Olathe, Kansas, is assisting with the survey and analysis.
You can access the survey by visiting the BCMH website, our Facebook page, or by using the QR code below.
