At least every five years, each health care charitable organization must assess and report on the health care needs of their community. RSA 7:32-f. Organizations in a community may team up to perform a joint assessment. Copies of the needs assessment should be posted on the organization's website.
All health care charitable organizations are required to develop annual community benefits plans to ensure the unique health care needs of a community are met. These plans are filed with the Charitable Trusts Unit. RSA 7:32-e. These plans include a report on the nature and amount of spending on specific categories of need. The updated Community Benefits Reporting Guide and online community benefits report form were made available in December 2020.
Here are health care community benefit plan reports for the past three fiscal years received by the Charitable Trusts Unit.
Proposed health care organization acquisition transactions require advance notice to the Charitable Trusts Unit under RSA 7:19-b. The Director of Charitable Trusts reviews the notice, conducts a review, and then issues a report either objecting to or not contesting the proposal. Our reports of recent health care organization transactions are available on our Reports page.
Here are additional materials that relate to issues to be addressed in health care acquisition transactions.
All Health Care Organization Forms are available on our Forms page.
