Community Health Needs Assessment

The 2015 Franciscan Hospital for Children community health needs assessment was conducted to fill several overarching goals, specifically to accomplish three goals.  The first was to examine the current health status of children and families in the Allston/Brighton community.  Second, we wanted to identify the current health priorities among children and families, focusing specifically on pediatric health including pediatric primary care, behavioral health, oral health, autism spectrum disorders and disability.  Last, we aimed to explore community strengths, resources, and gaps in services in order to guide future planning and programming efforts.
