Results of the 2004 Community Health Needs Assessment of HealthReach Community Health Centers

(WATERVILLE) - HealthReach Community Health Centers (HRCHC) is a family of eleven federally qualified health centers in central and western Maine. We provide high quality health care that is affordable and close to home. We offer medical services to citizens of all ages and offer a Sliding Fee Program based on family size and income to ensure that everyone can obtain needed services.

Every five years, we perform a comprehensive Community Health Needs Assessment. We survey users of our health centers, community board members, governing board members, staff, and others to find out if we are meeting community needs. Subsequently we identify what services need to be enhanced and develop our next five-year operational and clinical plans.

We are grateful to the 2,361 respondents who took the time to complete a survey during our 2004 Community Health Needs Assessment (November 2004 - January 2005).

We welcome inquiries about our Needs Assessment process and results. Please contact the HRCHC Development Office directly at 207-861-3466 or by email at HRCHC@HealthReach.org.
