Griffin Hospital in Derby to host community health discussion



DERBY - Griffin Hospital and the Naugatuck Valley Health District invite the public to a free discussion, “Improving Community Health in the Valley” from 5-7 p.m. Monday (Dec. 4) at the hospital, 130 Division St.

This open discussion will feature an overview of the Valley’s 2016-2018 Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP), which was developed based on community input on health priorities and data from the “Understanding the Valley Region” report published last fall.

The CHIP includes the following seven key focus areas for improvement:
Creation of a Community CARE Team; Chronic Disease Management and Prevention; Substance Use Prevention; Childhood Obesity Prevention; Lung Cancer Screening/Smoking Cessation; Asthma Prevention and Self-Management; and Healthy Homes.

Participants will learn more about the CHIP and will be invited to share their input about improving community health and well-being in the Valley.

Please RSVP to 203-732-1511 or register on Griffin’s online calendar at griffinhealth.org.
