Community Needs Assessment

Fletcher Allen Health Care routinely conducts community health assessments to understand current health trends, needs and assets. New federal legislation requires hospitals to conduct community health assessments every three years. Community assessments help us to identify areas of focus and are an integral resource for our community benefit plan.

Fletcher Allen is currently wrapping up our community health needs assessment. The assessment includes information from five focus groups, seventeen community leader interviews, and a community survey that was taken by over 1,300 people. We expect the final assessment and implementation plan to be published in winter of 2013.
