Henry County Medical Center to assess needs of community

PARIS, Tenn. — The Henry Counter Medical Center is preparing to assess the needs of the community.

The center says it will be working with other health care professionals to complete a Community Health Needs Assessment.

“Guided by the results of this important community assessment, we can have a more complete understanding of the health needs of this community which will help us focus our resources on how to improve health,” said Brad Bloemer, Interim CEO of the Henry County Medical Center.

The assessment will be a mix of collection, analysis and more into what the community needs when it comes to healthcare. And those in the county can express their needs directly.

The center says it will be forming focus groups on July 19 form 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“The listening sessions will be looking at what the concerns are as seen through the eyes of the residents of Henry County,” Bloemer said.

The assessments findings will then be shared with the center’s board of directors and administration. It will be followed by a health summit.
