Summary

Officials said the community health needs assessment analysis is ongoing; one community's survey remains open through August 14–15 and results will be combined with other towns and analyzed by epidemiology staff, with performance-standard reporting expected in September.

Chair updated members that data collection for the community health needs assessment is ongoing and that one town’s survey remains open to avoid overlap with a local municipal survey. She said the remaining town’s survey will close on August 14–15 and that epidemiology staff (Julie McCarthy and Emily) will combine and analyze all communities’ responses.

Carol urged the board to review complementary datasets (MetroWest Foundation survey) and suggested sharing comparative questions and results across towns once analysis is complete. Chair said performance-standards results will be available in September and that staff will follow up with outreach strategies based on Medfield’s communications work that members praised.
