Study to assess the health needs of 29 North Central Mass communities

Heywood Healthcare and UMass Memorial Health Care are joining to help study the health needs of 29 cities and towns across northern Central Massachusetts. The two hospital networks are working with the Montachusett Regional Planning Commission on a community health needs assessment it conducts every three years, a process relying on residents filling out an anonymous survey. Residents will be asked if they use a primary care physician for routine care, and how positively or negatively they view the effect on health of hospitals, community recreational assets, transportation networks or school systems.

The study is expected to identify any new challenges stemming from the coronavirus pandemic.
