About the Community Health Needs Assessment
“Memorial Hermann Health System is committed to improving health through trusted partnerships, with a vision to create healthier communities for future generations. Guided by values of community, compassion, credibility and courage, Memorial Hermann strives to ensure equitable access to care and support for all individuals.
As a non-profit organization providing a community benefit and in compliance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Memorial Hermann conducted the 2025 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) to identify and prioritize the most pressing health challenges across its nine-county service area, which includes 17 hospitals and serves more than 7.1 million residents. This comprehensive assessment incorporates primary and secondary data, community surveys and interviews with healthcare professionals as well as community leaders to guide strategic planning and improve community health outcomes.
The following seven health priorities for the Greater Houston community emerged and have been prioritized according to their community impact, the feasibility of addressing these needs, available resources, potential partnerships and existing community initiatives:
4 Health Priorities
- Access to Health Care
- Chronic Conditions Prevention and Management
- Maternal and Infant Health
- Mental Health and Substance Use
3 Non-Medical Drivers of Health Priorities
- Access to Healthy Food
- Economic Opportunity
- Educational Access
Over the next three years, Memorial Hermann will use the 2025 Community Health Needs Assessment to further address these health priorities. This new report structure provides insight to inform Memorial Hermann as a whole about the community’s health-related concerns. Memorial Hermann used the Community Health Needs Assessment to develop Strategic Implementation Plans (SIPs) to establish goals, objectives and strategies that addressed each hospital’s specific service area and populations served.

- Memorial Hermann Texas Medical Center
- Memorial Hermann Katy Hospital
