FY24 Community Benefits Highlights
Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA)
Every three years Holyoke Medical Center conducts a CHNA, in order to better understand the needs of the communities we serve. Once the CHNA is complete, an effective implementation strategy is created to address the most pressing issues for which the hospital is able to assist, in collaboration with many community organizations.
