Community Health partners with healthcare and other community organizations to improve the health of people in our communities.
Together with public health organizations, town leaders, schools, and community organizations, we complete Community Health Needs Assessments every three years. We work together with our partners to change the behaviors and community conditions that have the greatest impact on health, as detailed in our Community Health Improvement Plan.
