Milford Hospital led a comprehensive Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) to evaluate the health needs of individuals living in Milford, Connecticut beginning in 2013. The assessment was conducted in a timeline to comply with requirements set forth in the Affordable Care Act, as well as to further the hospital’s commitment to community health and population health management. The findings from the assessment will be utilized by Milford Hospital to guide its community benefit initiatives and to engage partners to address the identified health needs. Through this process, the hospital will be a stronger partner in the community and the health of those in the surrounding neighborhoods will be elevated.
Milford Hospital undertook an in-depth, comprehensive approach to identifying the needs in the community it serves. This approach included a compilation of two research components. The first was a review of the 2013-2014 Milford Community Needs Assessment, conducted by the United Way of Connecticut’s Community Results Center and released in July 2013. The second was the collection and analysis of additional secondary data in Milford, Connecticut to supplement the United Way assessment.
