Cheshire Medical Center has a long history of serving those who live and work in our area through community health improvement activities.
As an organization, we work with many local, state, and national partners to advance health and wellness in the Monadnock Region through the Center for Population Health. We engage people in community programs and provide support for strategic community partnerships aimed at improving the health of our local population. Many of these partnerships align with the priorities of the Community Health Improvement Plan.
Community Health Needs Assessments
Since 2015, all tax-exempt hospital organizations complete a community health needs assessment. Our community benefit activities are developed to help address community needs identified through these assessments.
