Several New York hospitals are partnering in a prevention study designed to identify the most prevalent medical conditions in their communities and improve population health, according to a Watertown Daily Times report.
Participating hospitals include Samaritan Medical Center in Watertown, Carthage (N.Y.) Area Hospital, Lewis County General Hospital in Lowville and Clifton-Fine (N.Y.) Hospital. These organizations are part of the western portion of the Northern New York Health Care Association.
Although the study is still in its early stages, it is designed to identify communities' most pressing healthcare needs, which can lead to improved cost-savings and population health later down the line.
