Rural determinants of health (RDOH) are an essential consideration when implementing community health improvement strategies. Mississippi is one of the most rural states in the country, with 79% of the counties classified as rural as defined by the federal Office of Management and Budget.  Rural determinants of health include issues of geography and topography in addition to socioeconomic factors that may serve to disadvantage health access and health outcomes in rural populations. This presentation, held in person at the MHA Conference Center in Madison, will provide an executive-level overview of how the community health needs assessment (CHNA) planning process can help all hospitals –  not just public and nonprofit hospitals – create a plan to address health needs in your community.
