Olathe Medical Center seeking community input on health care needs

Olathe Medical Center is conducting an online survey about health care needs in southern Johnson County.

The hospital is asking people to go to www.surveymonkey.com/r/OMC_2015 to complete the survey by Oct. 12.

Also, a town hall meeting, with breakfast provided, will be from 7:30 to 9 a.m. Oct. 20 at the Olathe Health Education Center, 21201 W. 152nd St. in Olathe.

The information gathered will go into a report, the Johnson County Community Health Needs Assessment, to meet federal Affordable Care Act regulations. Those regulations require non-profit hospitals to assess community health needs at least once every three years.

“We hope the community will take advantage of this opportunity to provide input into the future of healthcare delivery in our county,” Frank H. Devocelle, president/CEO of Olathe Health System, said in a statement.
