September 27, 2023
We are in the midst of a national mental health crisis. Youth in our region are struggling with their mental health, and the pandemic made it worse.
This new report summarizes findings from the 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment for the Coalition of Western Massachusetts Hospitals/Insurer. It combines existing survey data and information from interviews with mental health providers and youth development professionals.
There are many great things happening in parts of our region to support young people. Together, let's expand these efforts.

We’re excited to announce the release of The Health of Western & Central Massachusetts: Key Findings from the 2025 Community Health Needs Assessments. Every three years, hospitals are required to do a Community Health Needs Assessment . While each hospital posts its report publicly and focuses on its specific service area, we recognized the value of stepping back to look at the broader regional picture. This regional health report thoughtfully synthesizes findings across the five counties represented in those service areas. By summarizing shared needs and opportunities at a regional level, we aim to support more coordinated action. Now, more than ever, working and advocating together across the region is essential! We hope this report is useful to your organization and strengthens your collaborative efforts. We would love to hear your feedback and learn how it’s been helpful in your work.
