Resources
THA’s exploreTNhealth.org is a community health needs assessment platform designed to assist community health stakeholders in the development of impactful CHNAs using two rich sources of health-related data—the Tennessee County Health Rankings provided by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the Tennessee ZIP Health Rankings developed by researchers at the Hospital Industry Data Institute and Washington University School of Medicine with support from RWJF. Hospitals, health systems, public health officials, researchers and community organizers can use the site to gain insights into the health and social well-being of Tennessee’s 95 counties and 600 zip codes.
The exploreTNhealth resource is available free of charge to hospitals and health systems now at: https://exploretnhealth.org/.
