Bangor Daily News covers statewide health survey by UNE's Center for Community and Public Health

A story in the Bangor Daily News on June 2, 2010 reported that the OneMaine Health Collaborative has commissioned a survey of about 6,400 households across the state, designed and conducted by the University of New England's Center for Community and Public Health with a team including the Muskie School at the University of Southern Maine and Market Decisions, a local survey firm. The survey will assess health status as well as perception and use of health care services. The information gathered will enable public health officials, health care providers, community organizations, and others to effectively develop new or expanded resources, and plan health services for Maine.
