We are excited to announce the completion of our 2025 Greenwich Hospital Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) and Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP)!

The CHNA is a community-driven assessment conducted every three years to identify the most pressing health needs in our community and guide how we focus our programs, partnerships, and resources.

A special thank you to our community partners for their collaboration and shared commitment to improving community health, and to the residents and key informants who shared their voices and lived experiences throughout this process.

Over the next three years, Greenwich Hospital will focus on addressing key priority areas identified through the CHNA, including access to care and services, mental health and wellness, promoting a culture of health, and supporting healthy generations. We look forward to working alongside our community to turn these insights into meaningful, equitable action!

The fall respiratory season can also feel like a never-ending cycle of sickness. Just when you get over a cold, suddenly you have a runny nose all over again. So why do some people keep getting sick?

The most common illnesses circulating during the fall and winter months include influenza (flu), rhinovirus, RSV, COVID and parainfluenza. Parainfluenza is in a different class of viruses than the flu, but symptoms can be similar, including fever, body aches and fatigue. http://ynh.care/ZH

Most symptoms associated with common respiratory illnesses will resolve within a couple of days. Yet the cough that often accompanies colds, flu, COVID and RSV can linger for weeks.

During the height of the winter respiratory season, a lingering cough could also be the sign of a new illness.

“If you have fevers, chills, if you are short of breath, are bringing things up when you cough, or you notice that you don’t have the breathing stamina that you used to, this could be a sign of a pneumonia, and you should see a licensed healthcare professional to ensure that there isn’t something beyond a viral cold that is causing your symptoms,” said Melanie Raffoul, MD, chief medical officer, Yale New Haven Health Urgent Care.
