Community Service Plan

Please Give Us Your Opinion Regarding the Top Health Priorities as designated by the NYS Department of Health’s Agenda for a Healthier State

Modification and development of the hospital’s new Community Service Plan are under way and will remain a continuous process over the next three years and beyond. We have been provided with input from several groups associated with our community including long standing community and advisory committees of our hospital. Input from our community, now, and into the future, is invited in order to consider ideas and general input for our Community Service Plan. We request this input for our continuous effort in providing the best healthcare to meet the health needs of the community we serve.

Members of the community are specifically asked to consider two or three Prevention Agenda Priorities that they may feel are significant for our hospital to address. The NYS Department of Health’s 10 Prevention Agenda Priorities are:

• Access to Quality Health Care
• Tobacco Use
• Healthy Mothers / Healthy Babies/ Health Children
• Unintentional Injury
• Healthy Environment
• Physical Activity/Nutrition
• Chronic Disease
• Infectious Disease
• Community Preparedness
• Mental Health/ Substance Abuse
