Practicum site: Farmington Valley Health District (FVHD) in Canton (2019)

Project description: The practicum involved the strategy, planning, and preparation for a community needs assessment (CHA) as part of the FVHD’s accreditation effort. In addition, I was able to also shadow various departments and learn the practical side of the responsibilities of a local health district. The FVHD staff were great to work with and each staff member was willing to discuss their individual departments and contributions to the team.
