This resource highlights the goals of 10 states’ health and equity improvement plans, certificate/determination of need processes, and COVID-19 recovery and resilience plans. Policymakers can use the information in this chart and blog to make hospitals’ community benefit investments more accountable and effective by having them reflect state health goals and then measuring their progress. These states participate in the National Academy for State Health Policy’s workgroup on community benefits.
States’ COVID-19 Recovery and Resilience Plans data comes from the National Governors Association, Summary of Public Health Criteria in Reopening Plans.
