Service Area Needs Assessments

HRSA developed the Service Area Needs Assessment Methodology (SANAM) to provide a consistent and transparent approach for assessing the need for new Health Center Program investments that provide comprehensive primary and preventive care services to address health disparities and advance health equity.

The SANAM uses publicly available data to calculate an Unmet Need Score (UNS) for every zip code within a proposed service area. The SANAM reduces the burden for applicants by automating calculations and helps HRSA target resources to areas of high unmet need.

Resources for the SANAM and UNS include:

Resources for the SAS include:
