Caring for Our Community
Central Vermont Medical Center works closely with local health providers, nonprofits and government agencies to make sure everyone in the community has access to health services. Through these partnerships, we help address a wide range of health needs and helps foster a healthier, more connected region.
Community Health Needs Assessment
Every three years, hospitals within University of Vermont Health are required to conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) for their respective service areas. This process is carried out in collaboration with key community partners to better understand the health challenges and opportunities facing our communities.
CHNA reports explore a broad range of health-related topics. While they are not exhaustive analyses of individual issues, they serve as valuable tools for identifying key health priorities. These insights help spark meaningful community dialogue and guide the development of shared goals for improving health outcomes.
