What Are The Health Needs Of Grafton?

GRAFTON, MA—What do you think Grafton needs in terms of healthcare?

Fallon Health, UMass Memorial Medical Center and the Central Massachusetts Regional Public Health Alliance have partnered to conduct the 2018 Greater Worcester Community Health Assessment (CHA). A CHA is conducted every three years to help us understand key problems that affect our health and also assesses the strengths of our community. The last CHA was completed in 2015 and it has played a vital role in addressing health needs in our region.

Now, there are three forums scheduled to update this assessment.

Wednesday, May 2, 5-7 p.m. at Shrewsbury Town Hall

Wednesday, May 9, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Grafton Police Department

Wednesday, May 23, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Worcester Senior Center

The questions to be address are:

• What does a healthy community look like?
• What are the biggest health concerns in your community?
• What do you consider the most pressing needs in your community?
• How does access to good jobs, healthy food, and safe & affordable housing impact your health?
• What are the important health resources in your community?
• Come share your ideas
