A Community Health Assessment (CHA) is a process by which community members gain an understanding of the health concerns and needs of residents by identifying, collecting, analyzing and disseminating information on the community's assets, strengths, resources and needs.  The 2011 City of Nashua CHA includes data on the City of Nashua, the Greater Nashua Public Health Region and the State of New Hampshire.  The overarching goal for the CHA is to engage community members, identify emerging issues and set the foundation for future programming in the Greater Nashua Public Health Region.  There are many health topics covered in this CHA, including access to healthcare, maternal health, mental health, oral health, injury, emergency preparedness, environmental health and substance abuse. 

For additional information on the CHA, please contact Ashley Conley, Epidemiologist at 603-589-4552.
