Community Health Needs Assessment

For years, hospitals that provide a significant amount of free and low-cost benefits and services to their communities have not been required to pay Federal taxes. These hospitals must be not-for-profit, and must meet certain requirements set by the Internal Revenue Service.

Schoolcraft Memorial has always been a non-profit organization, but in 2007 the hospital applied for and was granted a specific non-profit status as a charitable care organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC).

On March 23, 2010, President Barack Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). One of its many requirements is that hospitals under IRC Section 501(r), in addition to the community benefits and services they have always provided, are now required to conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) once every three years.

In completing the CHNA, the hospital must consult with persons who represent the community’s interests, determine the priority health needs of the community, and develop an implementation strategy to meet those needs.

The care that was provided by The nurses (Cindy, Felicia Ruth) and staff was exceptional. The entire staff was very friendly and made you feel welcome. We received a call from Felicia the next day to check on my husband to check his pain level and do a follow up. The surgery area from check in to check out was well organized, clean, and up to date. Thank you to all of you for what you do so well and everything beyond your normal duties.

Dr Vix’s is fantastic, personal, friendly, knowledgeable, fun, caring. Compassionate, easy to communicate with.
His whole team was fantastic. Everything he did was quick and easy. Would definitely refer to anyone in the U.P.
Dr Anderson is clear and succinct. He speaks to the patient even when a guardian is present. He is wonderfully suited for his role.
Dr Rayner was very informative and answered all my questions. He was very good to work with.
Once again Dr Hovey was very good as he reviewed my findings and explored options for treatment. Very comfortable with him.
Dr. Vix did everything in his power to get me out of the ER as quickly as possible, even though every bed was full.
Everything was right on time. All of the staff is very professional, courteous, and friendly. They had everything they needed. Jeremy, the CRA, was thorough and complete and addressed all of my medical history. Dr. Bambach discussed the procedure and reviewed risks and benefits. my recovery was uneventful. After 24 hours, I am feeling great. I have minor incisal pain that requires no medication. Was as good of an experience a surgery could be.
He was very knowledgeable and very courteous
I'm thankful to have Dr Hoeve as my cardiologist. He has always listened to my thoughts and concerns and helps adjust my meds and advise to my advantage..He puts my mind at ease with my concerns...

Very pleasant personality very informative!
DOCTOR Rayner Absolutely 💯 Great... Bedside manner fantastic.... Made a nervous Grandma at peace... Amazing outcome... Job well done. I recommend highly... Thank you...
Dr. Niemela diagnosed and did surgery on a tendon tear and bone spur on my foot. There had been pain for over a year with each step, and it was more severe as time went on, and even waking me throughout the night. The successful surgery eliminated the pain immediately! No pain to speak of, and the follow-up care was top notch. Thank you Dr. Niemela and staff! Photo one week after surgery.
Dr Stephen clear and chearful in his diagnoses, treatment and directions to the patient.
