Community Health Needs Assessment and Reports

Community Health Needs Assessment and Implementation Strategy

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly known as the Affordable Care Act, is a health care reform law that was enacted in March 2010. This law requires hospital facilities to conduct a community health needs assessment (CHNA) every three years and adopt an implementation strategy to meet the identified community needs. The Maryland General Assembly mandates that Maryland hospitals generate a report and make it available to the public. Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital 2024-2027 CHNA and Implementation Plan, as well as previous reports, are posted below.

Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital is committed to meeting the identified health needs of residents within our service areas of 21215, 21216, and 21217. Our Community Benefit programs and activities reflect this commitment to health equity and to ensuring that the most vulnerable of our communities, the children, have access to care that leads to better health outcomes.
