Federal regulations require health care organizations to assess the needs of their communities and adopt implementation strategies to address identified health care needs. Per IRC Section 501(r), a byproduct of the Affordable Care Act, a tax-exempt hospital must do the following to comply with tax-exempt requirements:

• Conduct a community health needs assessment every three years. Read the 2022 Aultman Orrville Hospital Community Health Needs Assessment.
• Report how it is addressing the needs identified in the community health needs assessment.
