North Attleborough Community Health Needs Assessment
North Attleborough Community Health Needs Assessment 2024
The purpose of a Community Health Needs Assessment is to determine conditions within the community that prove to be most impactful and currently in need of improvement. The goal of this assessment is to listen to the people of this community and work toward improving upon the concerns that are most widely shared.
By participating in this survey, your perceptions and experiences will be thoughtfully considered, and will be significantly influential in making community-based changes. The North Attleborough Health Department will use information collected in this survey to ensure that action is being taken to meet the needs of the community.
The results of a Community Health Needs Assessment are crucial for improving the health of both individuals within a community, as well as the health and wellness of the community itself. The effects of the results can range from increased spending to address certain needs to implementing new programs to increase physical activity or socialization within the community to initiatives geared toward removing barriers to health.
