Health Resource Capacity Assessment for Putnam, Connecticut, May 2001

Thanks

This investigator would like to express her gratitude to the many residents of Putnam who generously offered their time and expertise to make this project a success. Not only is Putnam a closely knit town of people who support each other, they were also very helpful to a newcomer, asking lots of nosy questions. This ambitious project was completed in a very tight timeframe only because of that cooperation. I found a remarkable level of openness from virtually every Putnam resident, even those who I suspect didn't really understand what I was doing or why I was doing it. I enjoyed all the interviews and focus groups, and found myself looking forward to workgroup meetings. I am confident that Putnam will find solutions to any future challenges.

I will miss Putnam.
