Hackensack Meridian Health Conducts Community Health Needs Assessment
March 18, 2022
What are the most important health concerns for your community? Are there any gaps in services or other factors which may contribute to less-than-optimal health status for residents of your community?
Beginning in late March, Hackensack Meridian Health is conducting a Community Health Needs Assessment survey for our coverage area. Residents in Bergen through Ocean counties will be given the opportunity to help local hospitals, public health departments and other health care providers assess the health status of the area.
Hackensack Meridian Health hired Professional Research Consultants of Omaha, Nebraska to conduct this Community Health Needs Assessment. The project consists of gathering information about the health status of area residents through a telephone survey – available in both English and Spanish. Survey participants will be randomly selected and survey responses will be kept strictly confidential. Survey results will be combined into a Community Report, due to be published by the end of December 2022.
“We encourage everyone who is contacted to please participate in the survey,” said Laura Frank, vice president, Community Outreach and Engagement for Hackensack Meridian Health. “This is a meaningful opportunity for the community to provide feedback on local health issues that impact our area the most. Participating in the survey helps improve quality of life and provides an understanding of the strengths and opportunities within our community.”
