Commitment to the Community
Here at MRHC, it is important for us to determine the health needs and concerns of the communities we serve. Identifying these needs help us to implement a plan to understand the progress in addressing these needs and identify and prioritize our healthcare initiatives for the years to come.
The future of healthcare starts with you. What are the most important health needs in our community?
Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA)
MRHC is working with area providers and partners to update the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). We are seeking input from community members regarding unmet healthcare needs. Please take the brief survey here.
All community residents and business leaders are encouraged to complete this online survey by February 3rd, 2025. In addition, a CHNA Town Hall meeting to discuss the survey findings and identify unmet needs will be held on Thursday, March 6th, 2025 for dinner from 5 – 6:30pm in the MRHC Administration Conference Room. Thank you in advance for your time and support!
On a regular basis, Manning Regional Healthcare Center conducts a Community Health Needs Assessment and develops a strategic implementation plan.
Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNA) and implementation strategies are required of tax-exempt hospitals because of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. These assessments and strategies create an important opportunity to improve the health of communities. They ensure that hospitals have the information they need to provide benefits that meet the needs of their communities. They also provide an opportunity to improve coordination of hospital community benefits with other efforts to improve community health. By statute, the CHNAs must consider input from “persons who represent the broad interests of the community served by the hospital facility, including those with special knowledge of or expertise in public health.”
As of February 1, 2022, MRHC completed the 2022 CHNA assessment update. VVV Consultants LLC, an independent healthcare consulting firm from Olathe, KS, conducted this countywide research. The goal of this assessment update was to understand progress in addressing community health needs cited in past assessment reports while collecting up-to-date community health perceptions and ideas.
The areas of concern were mental health care, ambulance staffing, and healthcare reimbursement. These topics were chosen by members of our community and have been prioritized and addressed over the last few years.
Community Health Needs Assessment Reports
MRHC completed and posted an updated CHNA in May 2022. That CHNA and supporting documentation can be accessed through the links below. Additionally, paper copies are available upon request at MRHC.

Workforce Partnerships
At Manning Regional Healthcare Center, we believe in supporting the health and wellness of the communities we serve.
That’s why we employ trusted providers to deliver top-notch healthcare services close to home. We recognize that as business owners and managers you’re expected to wear many hats, but the health and well-being of your employees may not always be the easiest issue to identify. Research shows, though, that good health is beneficial for business and safe workplaces have improved financial results.
At MRHC we will customize a program or training to meet your employee and business needs. We address numerous community healthcare needs including physical, mental, and emotional health. Together, we can:
- Reduce workplace accidents
- Improve attendance and productivity
- Improve quality of life and staff retention
- Decrease worker’s compensation claims
Partner with MRHC
- Convenient access to healthcare services will reduce lost productivity that results from a worker taking 3-4 hours to leave the worksite, travel, wait for and see healthcare providers and obtain medications and services.
- Provide low no-cost resources to increase the use of preventive and wellness services, lessening the severity of common illnesses, decreasing chronic conditions that require regular checkups, improving medication compliance and improving overall patient outcomes.
- Investing in the well-being of employees can help attract and retain employees. Deliver trusted medical services direct to your employees will reduce overall costs and improve patient/provider relationships which result in identifying health concerns earlier
