About the Project

These two events are being held as part of the Transforming Communities Initiative 2022 prioritization process. The process so far has involved an Advisory Committee of representatives from community organizations and Springfield residents. The Advisory Committee, which is convened by Mercy Medical Center and the Public Health Institute of Western Mass, includes Resident Advisors and representatives from several community-based organizations. The Advisory Committee has reviewed health needs and barriers identified in Mercy Medical Center’s recent Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). They are working to narrow the list to 3-5 topics to then bring to the community for feedback. Learn more.
