Graduate summer intern needed for community needs survey

The UHS community relations director at UHS Delaware Valley Hospital is seeking a summer intern to assist with a community needs survey. The survey would be distributed to residents of Walton, N.Y., to evaluate various opportunities for social engagement.

Walton intends to work towards becoming an AARP Livable Community, which takes all ages into consideration, not just seniors. Therefore, the rationale behind the survey comes from the AARP Livable Communities Program and WHO 8 Domains of Livability — five of which pertain to community, inclusion and socialization: social participation, respect and social inclusion, civic participation and employment, communication and information, and community and health services. When community livability is bettered, stress on community members is reduced, pride is increased and the overall outlook on life improves.
