Health Improvement Alliance, Neighbor

In 2003, the Health Improvement Alliance (HIA) was formed to help address the health needs of the Greater Bridgeport community, which includes the six towns of Bridgeport, Easton, Fairfield, Monroe, Stratford, and Trumbull. In early 2020, HIA expanded to a seven-town region and now also includes the town of Milford.

The mission and vision of Health Improvement Alliance (HIA) is to work together to identify, prioritize, and measurably improve the health of the community through prevention, education, and services.

Initially named the Primary Care Action Group (PCAG), the coalition changed names in 2019 to HIA to more accurately reflect the expanded focus of our work.

HIA is a coalition of two neighboring hospitals, Bridgeport Hospital and St. Vincent’s Medical Center, along with the seven departments of public health, federally qualified health centers, and about 100 community and non-profit organizations all serving the Greater Bridgeport Region.
