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.

Planning is underway for a fall 2011 community health assessment. Below are links to past assessments. For further information, please call the Community Health Improvement office at 847-2278.

In May 2006, Fletcher Allen conducted a follow-up survey to the Community Assessment done in 2004.  The subjective community wide assessment was taken by over 1,050 people throughout the community and measured people's thoughts about the best and worst aspects of the community including health care, wellness, and the community in general.

To view the findings of the 2006 survey follow the links below.
