Bergen health services, hospitals seek community input in survey

The Bergen County Department of Health Services and the Community Health Improvement Partnership and Bergen County’s seven non-profit hospitals, have launched the 2025 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) survey. Residents are encouraged to participate in this online survey to help identify the top health and social service needs in the county. Bergen is the most populous county in New Jersey with 957,736 people.

The anonymous survey is available through July 31 and can be accessed at: www.prcsurvey.com/begin/Bergen2025CHNA (Available in English, Spanish, and Korean.)

CHNA surveys are conducted every three years to collect data from residents, which helps shape the strategies and services developed to meet Bergen County’s health needs. Community feedback enables the county and its hospital partners to understand the experiences and concerns of residents across every ZIP code — especially vulnerable and underserved populations.

“This survey is one of the most important tools we have to understand how to best serve our community,” said County Executive Jim Tedesco. “Hearing directly from our residents helps us identify gaps in services, track emerging health trends, and develop programs that make a meaningful difference.”

The participating hospitals are New Bridge Medical Center, Paramus; Christian Health, Wyckoff; Englewood Health, Englewood; Hackensack Meridian Health, Hackensack; Hackensack Meridian Health Pascack Valley, Westwood; Holy Name Medical Center, Teaneck; and The Valley Health System, Paramus.
