RURAL NORTHERN BORDER REGION NETWORK PLANNING PROGRAM - NORTHEASTERN VERMONT REGIONAL HOSPITAL (NVRH), IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NORTH COUNTRY HOSPITAL AND A NETWORK OF HEALTHCARE, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, PUBLIC HEALTH, AND COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, PROPOSES THE NORTHEAST KINGDOM ACCOUNTABLE COMMUNITY FOR HEALTH (ACH) REGIONALIZATION INITIATIVE. THIS PLANNING PROJECT WILL EXPAND THE LONG-STANDING ST. JOHNSBURY HEALTH SERVICE AREA ACH, NEK PROSPER!, TO INCLUDE THE NEWPORT HEALTH SERVICE AREA, CREATING THE FIRST UNIFIED, NORTHEAST KINGDOM-WIDE ACCOUNTABLE COMMUNITY FOR HEALTH SERVING THE RURAL COUNTIES OF CALEDONIA, ESSEX, AND ORLEANS, VERMONT. THE NORTHEAST KINGDOM IS ONE OF VERMONT'S MOST RURAL AND GEOGRAPHICALLY ISOLATED REGIONS. RESIDENTS EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT BARRIERS TO HEALTH, INCLUDING HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE SHORTAGES, TRANSPORTATION LIMITATIONS, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NEEDS, CHRONIC DISEASE, HOUSING INSTABILITY, AND OTHER SOCIAL DRIVERS OF HEALTH. WHILE ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE REGION HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF COLLABORATION, NO FORMAL REGIONAL STRUCTURE CURRENTLY EXISTS TO ALIGN HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS, PUBLIC HEALTH PARTNERS, SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES, MUNICIPALITIES, EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS AROUND SHARED PRIORITIES AND COORDINATED ACTION. BUILDING UPON MORE THAN A DECADE OF COLLABORATIVE POPULATION HEALTH WORK THROUGH NEK PROSPER!, THIS PROJECT WILL DEVELOP THE GOVERNANCE, PARTNERSHIPS, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND SUSTAINABILITY FRAMEWORK NECESSARY TO SUPPORT A REGIONAL ACH. OVER THE 12-MONTH PLANNING PERIOD, NETWORK PARTNERS WILL: (1) CONDUCT ORGANIZATIONAL AND COMMUNITY READINESS ASSESSMENTS AND IMPLEMENT A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS TO IDENTIFY SHARED HEALTH PRIORITIES THROUGH A COORDINATED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA); (2) ENGAGE EXECUTIVE LEADERS AND STAKEHOLDERS TO DEVELOP A SHARED GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE, PARTICIPATION MODEL, COMMUNICATION STRATEGY, AND DECISION-MAKING FRAMEWORK; AND (3) ASSESS REGIONAL RESOURCES, IDENTIFY SHARED INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES, AND DEVELOP A LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY AND IMPLEMENTATION ROADMAP. THE PROJECT DIRECTLY ADVANCES THE GOALS OF THE RURAL NORTHERN BORDER REGION NETWORK PLANNING PROGRAM BY STRENGTHENING REGIONAL COLLABORATION, IMPROVING COORDINATION ACROSS HEALTHCARE AND COMMUNITY SERVICES, INCREASING ORGANIZATIONAL EFFICIENCIES THROUGH SHARED PLANNING AND INFRASTRUCTURE, AND ESTABLISHING A SUSTAINABLE FRAMEWORK TO IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR RURAL RESIDENTS. UPON COMPLETION, THE NORTHEAST KINGDOM WILL HAVE A COMMUNITY-INFORMED GOVERNANCE MODEL, REGIONAL HEALTH PRIORITIES, IMPLEMENTATION ROADMAP, SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY, AND STRENGTHENED CROSS-SECTOR PARTNERSHIPS THAT POSITION THE REGION TO PURSUE FUTURE IMPLEMENTATION FUNDING AND ADVANCE COORDINATED APPROACHES TO IMPROVING HEALTH AND WELL-BEING ACROSS NORTHERN VERMONT.
