ACTION Health is proud to announce that the results of our recent Community Needs Assessment have been compiled and are now posted on this site! The Executive Summary of “Rural Pennsylvania Counts: Columbia, Montour, Northumberland, Snyder and Union Counties” can be found by clicking here: Executive_Summary

Here you will find a summary of the methods and process used and some of the most striking results found. In addition, ACTION Health will be highlighting a different topic area monthly and providing additional results, data, tables and/or graphs. So please check back on our website often to learn even more about the needs of our community.
