Community Health Improvement Plan
King’s Daughters Mission
“To Care. To Serve. To Heal.” King’s Daughters Ohio (KDOH) fulfills its mission through its commitment toward addressing the health needs in the community by conducting a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) and developing an Implementation Strategy every three years.
Purpose of a Hospital’s Implementation Strategy
A Community Health Implementation Plan (CHIP) outlines how a hospital plans to address community health needs and is intended to satisfy the requirements set forth by state law and the Internal Revenue Code Section 501(r)(3) regarding Community Health Needs Assessments and Implementation Strategy. The CHIP process is meant to align KDOH’s initiatives and programs with goals, objectives and indicators that address significant community health needs described in the CHNA.
Community Definition
KDOH’s patients come from Scioto and surrounding counties in Ohio and Kentucky. However, Scioto County is the primary market for KDOH.

How the Plan Was Developed
The Community Health Implementation Plan (CHIP) was developed after the comprehensive Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) was completed. Please refer to the complete CHNA at kingsdaughtershealth.com for the full report. Strategies and action plans were developed based on a consensus among steering committee members taking into account input from various disciplines.
The organization intends to focus on the priority areas below and undertake strategies to meet the identified community health needs. Most of the strategies and initiatives will be coordinated and advanced through teams comprised of representatives from KDOH and other community organizations. This CHIP will be reviewed annually during the three-year lifespan of the 2022 CHNA to determine if changes should be made to better address the dynamic healthcare needs of the community.

Significant Health Needs Not Addressed
IRS regulations require that the CHNA Implementation Strategy include a brief explanation of why a hospital facility does not intend to address any significant health needs identified through the CHNA.
As described in detail in the CHNA, KDOH prioritized two significant health need areas during the CHNA process, including: chronic conditions and preventive care.
Other identified health needs have not been specifically addressed through the development of this Implementation Strategy. However, many of these needs are covered through KDOH’s provision of comprehensive services or through the three above-mentioned priority areas to be focused on over the next three years. Specific reasons are outlined below.
Identified Need
- Overweight/Obesity
- Diabetes
- Heart Disease
- Reason for not addressing: Addressed through nutrition, wellness, and physical activity
Identified Need
- Substance Use Disorders
- Respiratory Illnesses
- Infant Health & Family Planning
- Injury & Violence
- Kidney Disease
- Oral Health
- Potentially Disabling Conditions

King’s Daughters Ohio believes the new programs to be developed and expanded will respond to the significant health needs of the community. Through the resources identified and collaboration with the community, the impact of these new programs will be significant.
