Every three years, we align health priorities with the areas of greatest identified need and consider where our resources will generate the greatest impact. Our commitment to improving the health and well-being of our community is demonstrated through the activities outlined in our community health improvement plan. Putnam Hospital identified the following two priorities that align with local health department and NYS Prevention Agenda priorities: * Prevent chronic diseases * Promote well-being and prevent mental and substance use disorders Workgroups developed goals, objectives, strategies, action steps, and success metrics for these priority areas. Below are key highlights showcasing the impact of our strategies in addressing health needs identified in the 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) and the 2023-2025 CHIP: The Roundtrip program was implemented for the Nuvance Health NY hospital PSAs in 2024. Specifically for Putnam Hospital, the program was implemented in August 2024. The program provides transportation for vulnerable populations, who may miss appointments due to lack of transportation to physician offices and hospital OP services. A total of 261 transports have been made for the Putnam PSA through the end of 2024. Mental Health First Aid classes, a national evidence-based program designed to teach skills for recognizing and responding to signs of mental illness and substance use, have been expanded from Connecticut to include New York hospitals. This training is now available across all hospital communities in both New York and Connecticut, ensuring broader access to this vital resource. Other CHIP activities included transportation assistance, the Get Fit fitness program, Health Related Social Needs screenings, distribution of Narcan and Fentanyl test strips, and diaper distribution programs. Community education sessions that focused on healthy lifestyle behaviors, stroke prevention, cancer screenings and prevention, smoking cessation counseling, chronic disease self-management and stress management were offered throughout the community, often in partnership with community-based organizations, senior centers and schools.
