Community Benefits & Community Health Needs Assessment
As a nonprofit hospital, Johns Hopkins is required by the Internal Revenue Service to demonstrate the value we provide through community benefit activities. The Community Benefit Report (CBR) provides a comprehensive overview of Johns Hopkins Hospital's ongoing commitment to our community. It catalogs our current services and programs and guides future initiatives by identifying areas of unmet need. The 2024 report is the most recent report available for Johns Hopkins Health System.
Identifying Needs, Inspiring Action
In collaboration with neighboring hospitals and community organizations, Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital conducts a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) to better understand the unmet and emerging health needs across our region. The CHNA has become a foundational tool for identifying priority areas and driving meaningful action.
The 2025 CHNA identified five key areas of need:
- Access to Health Care and Quality
- Behavioral Health
- Exercise, Nutrition and Weight
- Maternal, Fetal and Infant Health
- Economic Stability
Our Community Benefit Strategic Implementation Plan outlines clear objectives, actionable steps, and evaluation recommendations to help address each of these priorities and improve the health of our community.
