Bristol Hospital led a comprehensive Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) to evaluate the health needs of individuals living in and around Bristol, Connecticut beginning in 2013. The purpose of the assessment was to gather information about local health needs and health behaviors. The assessment examined a variety of indicators including risky health behaviors (alcohol use, tobacco use) and chronic health conditions (diabetes, heart disease).
The completion of the CHNA enabled Bristol Hospital to take an in-depth look at its greater community. The findings from the assessment were utilized by Bristol Hospital to prioritize public health issues and develop a community health implementation plan focused on meeting community needs.
