Serving the community often extends beyond a single healthcare provider. That’s why Northeast Georgia Medical Center Gainesville (pictured), Braselton, Barrow, Lumpkin and Habersham (NGMCs), District 2 Public Health, Stephens County Hospital and Good News Clinics are collaborating to gain deeper insights into the health challenges and needs that patients, families and communities across northeast Georgia face when making life decisions.
Those organizations are asking for your input through an online Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) survey. Conducted every three years, the CHNA helps capture the region’s latest health trends and barriers to care. The assessment is then used to help guide the focus and development of future programs to benefit the community.
The survey is at nghs.com/community-survey and will be open to anyone in the community through March 28.
Responses are kept anonymous with a composite report. For those who would like to be included and are willing to provide their name and contact information, there will also be a drawing for a free, one-year YMCA membership.
