Wednesday, April 23 - River Hospital presented the results from their River Community Health Assessment in the Town of Clayton.  The survey was done for 6 weeks during the summer of 2007.  Local high school students and medical students went door to door in 7 of the surrounding communities to survey the needs of the residents in the hospital's "target" area.

"What's the most helpful about it is that we're very concerned about making the right decision about the new programs we promote for our community. We want to ensure they are addressing the needs and desires of the community," said Ben Moore, CEO of River Hospital.
