COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
The Community Engagement Team at Healthy Androscoggin works with Central Maine Healthcare’s (CMH) three hospitals – Central Maine Medical Center, Bridgton Hospital and Rumford Hospital – to improve the health of the communities each hospital serves. We do this by:
Participating and facilitating the local and state Shared Community Health Needs Assessment (SCHNA) every 3 years
Creating and implementing a Community Health Implementation Plan (CHIP) for all 3 hospitals within the CMH system
Work as liaisons to help bridge connections between Bridgton Hospital, Central Maine Medical Center, and Rumford Hospital to the communities they serve
