Community Health Assessment Survey - Closes July 17th

If you live in Hopkinton and are at least 14 years old, the Hopkinton Board of Health would appreciate your help developing a Community Health Assessment (CHA), which identifies health needs, gaps, and concerns within the community and helps guide programs and initiatives to address them. A significant part of this process is understanding what the Hopkinton community views as important health issues. This survey is completely anonymous, opinion-based, and all questions are voluntary. However, we value responses from everyone in the community, and ask you to be as open and honest as possible. Thoughtful responses will help us best understand the needs and priorities of the Hopkinton community. The survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete.  Community Health Assessment Survey
