Creating initiatives and providing hope
Our mission is to help people with disabling illness and injury live their fullest possible lives. Our role is also to prevent disabling injuries and ensure the health and well-being of the communities we serve.
Because of our hospital’s focus on physical rehabilitation, we’ve identified physical activity as a priority to help address the needs of residents in the Greater Washington, D.C., area. The information below describes our dedication to making a positive impact on our community.

Community Health Needs Assessment
We are in the process of starting our 2021 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) and will be developing our new implementation strategy. The Community Health Needs Assessment uses a community-driven approach that supports the hospital in planning and carrying out community-based programming to more effectively handle the health needs of underserved and vulnerable populations.
The 3-year implementation strategy identifies the hospital's community benefit service area, the most important health priorities, and activities with measurable outcomes. See below for our previous CHNAs.
