From 2011 to 2013, Stamford Hospital collaborated with the Stamford Health Department to update their Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). The assessment includes a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the community’s demographics, health behaviors, and overall health status; the availability of health care resources and barriers to access the community faces; priorities for improvements in the community’s health; and priorities for improvements to the larger health care system that serves the Lower Fairfield County region. The results of the CHNA have, in turn, been used to develop an action plan that will guide the hospital’s strategic direction to meet the community’s health related needs.
