The Greater Milford Community Health Network, also known as CHNA 6, is looking to support emergency food and toiletry programs in the region in order to ensure that everyone who needs access to these resources are able to receive it. 

 

Based on successful models in other regions, we have created a monthly calendar that can be widely shared with the community so everyone can know about all the amazing resources that are available to them. This will also help us identify any gaps, that we as community, could work together to address! 

  • For link click here. We also have a downloaded QR code that you can easily use and share (download available below). 
  • If you would like to see an additional resource on the calendar, please email coordinator@chna6.org 
  • Google Chrome allows you to access the calendar in all languages! In order to do this, you must download a Google Chrome Extension called “Google Translate”. For more information, click here.

CHNA 6 Meeting: We We extend our sincere thanks to all new and returning members who joined our most recent general meeting via Zoom on Friday, January 9th at 9:00 a.m. We also appreciate everyone who submitted letters of intent for the Spring 2026 Bidders Conference. We look forward to reviewing your full applications in the months ahead.
 

We would like to introduce the new Community Heath Improvement Plan (CHIP)!


Background:
CHNA 6 contracted with Holleran Consulting (Holleran), an independent research and consulting firm located in Wrightsville, Pennsylvania, to lead the creation of the CHIP. Holleran has over 30 years of experience in conducting public health research and community health assessments.
 
Engaging the CHNA 6 Community:
CHNA 6’s member organizations were engaged throughout the process, identifying and addressing challenges facing their constituents. The results of the Milford Regional Medical Center (MRMC)'s Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) 2024 were incorporated into the process, shedding light on the perceptions of key stakeholders and community members. The CHNA 6 community health improvement process engaged its members, community members, public health partners, and members of local organizations. 

The Outcome - New Priorities:

  1. Priority Area #1: Health and Social Service Access and Navigation:
    • GOAL: To address barriers to accessing local health care and social services.
  2. Priority Area #2: Mental Health and Substance Use:
    • GOAL: To reduce social isolation and the stigma associated with mental illness and increase the availability of related resources.
  3.  Priority Area #3: Essential Needs and Well-being: food and housing insecurity, and access to SNAP benefits & MassHealth or other health insurance.
    • GOAL: To promote the conditions that allow residents to access food, housing, and health insurance.
