 The nonprofit hospital identified four priorities for the people and
communities it serves in Logan County and eastern Mason County. They
are obesity, substance abuse, mental health and cancer.
Completing a community health needs assessment is required of
nonprofit hospitals by the Affordable Care Act of 2010. The hospital
completed a previous needs assessment in 2015.
To complete the needs assessment, Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital
collaborated with the Logan County Department of Health and other
health and social service providers that represent the vulnerable
members of the community.

“A multitude of issues determine the health of a community. No single hospital,
agency or governmental body can be entirely responsible for the health of its
community,” said Dolan Dalpoas, president and CEO of Abraham Lincoln Memorial
Hospital. “We look forward to working with our community partners to address
these critical health needs faced by many in our community.”
The community health needs assessment includes an implementation strategy to
address how the hospital will meet these priorities in 2018-21.
