We are proud to present you with these reports of the
six-county Adirondack Region of Upstate New York—a comprehensive
collection and analysis of data regarding health issues and needs in
Essex, Fulton, Hamilton, Saratoga, Warren and Washington counties.
This study was conducted to identify health issues of
primary concern and to provide critical information to those in a
position to make an impact on the health of our region—governments,
social service agencies, businesses, healthcare providers and
consumers—to name just a few.
The results enable us to more strategically establish
priorities, develop interventions and commit resources to improve the
health of our communities and the region.
Health is—and must be—an issue of concern and action for
all of us. We hope the information in this study will encourage
collaboration involving all agencies, across county lines, between usual
competitors, and among funders to address the complex health needs of
our residents.

Adirondack Rural Health Network
The Adirondack Rural Health Network is a
community partnership of public, private and
non-profit organizations in Upstate New
York. The mission of the ARHN is to
undertake community health activities that
are best accomplished through collective
efforts of member organizations focusing on
health problems of greatest concern,
addressing the health needs of underserved
populations, and adding value to the
regional health care system. Adirondack
Rural Health Network creates a collaborative
process for developing strategies and for
implementing, monitoring and evaluating the
regional health care system.
The Adirondack Rural Health Network was
established in 1992 through a grant award
between the Upper Hudson Primary Care
Consortium and the New York State Department
of Health. Over the years, ARHN has achieved
significant success as a catalyst for
regional community health service
development with special focus on primary
care, behavioral health, oral health, and
emergency medical/pre-hospital services. It
links community health centers, hospitals,
local public health units, community mental
health programs, emergency medical services,
and other health-related service agencies by
providing the forum to address regional
rural health care delivery problems.
