To support Gila Regional Medical Center’s ongoing commitment to improve the health of the communities they serve, GRMC will be conducting a Community Health Needs Assessment Survey. Within the next week, community members will be contacted to complete a brief online survey to provide their thoughts, ideas and individual comments on a variety of health issues, which may be included in a report of the survey. Participation in the survey is highly recommended as the public’s input is essential in the community health improvement planning and to help prioritize community health needs. For any questions or concerns regarding the survey, call Julissa at 575-956-2296.
