Health is more than healthcare!

Improving the health of the people in the communities we serve is at the core of our mission at NVRH. We understand that you spend more time out in the community -at home, at work, at school, and with family and friends – than you do at the hospital or with your health care providers.

With public participation, NVRH conducted a Community Health Needs Assessment. The companion Implementation Plan will be available in early 2025.

You can download copies of current and past Community Health Needs Assessments and Implementation Plans by clicking on the documents to the right.

Each year we also provide a summary of our progress on the NVRH Implementation Plan. For the 2021-2024 Implementation Plan, please see most recent update: “CHNA Evaluation Fiscal Year 2023“.

*NEW* Northeast Kingdom Community Health Needs Assessment

We’re excited to share the Northeast Kingdom-wide Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) Report — a valuable resource for community members, organizations, and partners. This report brings the entire NEK together – Caledonia, Essex, and Orleans Counties – in one report. Inside you’ll find local data, which can be used to prioritize community needs and identify opportunities.

• Advocate for policy and systems change
• Shape new programs and services
• Inform and strengthen funding proposals

Together, we can use this shared overview of our region’s health to make the Northeast Kingdom a healthier, stronger place for everyone. Read the full report here: Northeast Kingdom Community Health Needs Assessment Report 2024
