APPENDIX D
Purpose In March and April 2012, the Rockbridge Area MAPP Project undertook a survey of the Rockbridge area to better understand how people are using the current health system, assess barriers to care and identify gaps in services. The MAPP team also aimed to gauge community support for an affordable health center, document health services needed by the community, and determine convenient times of operation. Surveys were distributed to two separate populations: a Target Population of potentially medically underserved households and a Random Sample of all Rockbridge area households.
