Planning Organization
CALLS FOR 2021 COMMUNITY HEALTH SURVEY BEGIN THURSDAY
Adult residents of Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence counties encouraged
to share thoughts regarding local healthcare
Watertown, NY ----- The Fort
Drum Regional Health Planning Organization (FDRHPO), in partnership with
the North Country Health Compass Partners, will begin making calls to
community members for its 2021 Community Health Survey on Thursday, May 27,
2021.
Completed on an
annual basis, the survey asks local adults about their thoughts and
experiences with healthcare. Responses are kept anonymous and are used to
assess the effectiveness of local programs, identify specific health needs
in the community, and create plans to address these needs.
The telephone
portion of the survey will be completed this week, the week of May 24th using
phone numbers that have been randomly selected from a group of active phone
numbers within Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence counties. The survey will
also be sent to a number of email addresses of the
region’s residents.
FDRHPO's goal is
to have at least 1,500 adults complete the survey -- roughly 500 from each
county. Findings are expected to be released early this Fall.
For more
information about the survey, email research@fdrhpo.org.
Data from past Community Health Surveys can be found at www.ncnyhealthcompass.org.
