Community Support
Community Support
We are committed to improving the health and well-being of our communities' residents. We aim to do so through a variety of programs, supportive offerings and regular Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNA) . Our areas of interest include providing chronic disease management, health risk awareness programming, physician seminars, and community collaborative and school-based events.
As a backbone partner for the Stamford Community Collaborative, we work closely with Charter Oak Communities and other community partners to support Stamford through the Vita Health & Wellness District.
We provide care to everyone regardless of socio-economic status. In 2019, Stamford Health provided approximately $84 million in uncompensated care to our community; although we are the fifth largest health system in the state, we provide the second highest amount of uncompensated care.
