Community Health Indices

The Dignity Health Community Need Index has been discontinued. We were pleased to have pioneered this social and health need index, and are gratified by the use it found with community health champions across many sectors.

For alternate national indices on health and social conditions, consider these publicly available tools:

CDC/ATSDR Social Vulnerability Index
Neighborhood Atlas’s Area Deprivation Index
Vizient Vulnerability Index
