Health Resource Capacity Assessment for Danielson, Connecticut, June 2003
Introduction
The Northeast District Department of Health (NDDH) serves twelve rural
communities in Northeastern Connecticut with data collection, analysis and
health planning activities, among other responsibilities. A comprehensive
assessment of the health care needs of the town of Putnam was conducted by
NDDH in 2001. That assessment led to a series of formal and informal
health initiatives that continue benefiting the community two years later.
To build on that success, a similar assessment was commissioned to
identify health needs and make recommendations for the borough of
Danielson.
The goals of this study are to
- Accurately assess the health care challenges and assets of Danielson
- Draft realistic recommendations to address those needs effectively
- To provide a blueprint to strengthen a system that is responsive to
Danielson's unique needs and capacities for the future.
It is hoped that this community assessment for Danielson will serve as
a catalyst for on-going health planning and improvement.
