Winchester Hospital Community Health Survey

Winchester Hospital is conducting a Community Health Needs Assessment and needs your

assistance. The goal of this survey process is to gather resident input on needs in your

communities. The responses to this survey will inform the hospital's program strategies

and community investment decisions.

The survey can be found at this link: jsi.com/BILHsurvey2021. The surveys will take 15

minutes to complete. Your responses are confidential, and respondents will have the

opportunity to enter into a drawing for a $100 gift card. The information from this sur-

vey will allow Winchester Hospital to prioritize the needs of the communities served by the

hospital. Hearing from local residents is critical to this process. We would appreciate it if

you would complete the survey and share this link widely with your networks. The survey

is open from now until November 15."
