The South Shore Community
South Shore Hospital understands the financial challenges many of our community members face. That’s why we offer equitable healthcare to all of our neighbors. While our community may experience more healthcare issues than average, the good news is South Shore Hospital offers top-notch facilities, programs, and care to help you improve your health.
In our 2019 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), South Shore community members expressed which healthcare issues were the most important to them. To improve our services, we evaluated how different factors affect our community, including:
- Access to food, housing, and jobs
- Structural racism
- Community safety, violence, and trauma
- Mental health and substance use disorders
- Access to quality healthcare and community resources
- Chronic conditions such as hypertension, asthma, and diabetes
The community survey asked South Shore community members about top health issues, top needs for a healthy community, greatest strengths in the community, and what needs to be improved. The chart below shows which health issues our community is most concerned about.
