Meadows Health is conducting a health needs assessment and is asking members of the community to visit www.meadowshealth.com by May 3 to participate in a web-based survey. This is the third year Meadows has conducted the community survey.
“The survey, which asks residents their thoughts on the health status of our community, only takes about 10 minutes to complete,” said Alan Kent, President & CEO of Meadows. “The feedback of area citizens will help shape the role of medical care in our region.”
Kent said participation in the survey can be anonymous, but all participants who provide their name will be entered into a drawing for one of three gift cards ranging in the amounts of $300, $150 and $50 each.
Kent said the purpose of the needs assessment is to identify and prioritize community health needs that will enable Meadows Health to develop strategies and plans that benefit the public and satisfy the requirements of the Affordable Care Act.
Conducted by an independent third party, the health needs assessment includes the community survey, demographic research, hospital discharge data review and interviews with physicians, clinicians and civic leaders.
“The assessment will summarize the results of complete study,” said Kent. “It will help Meadows in strategic planning and the prioritization of resources.”
The survey closes on May 3, 2019.
