About the Needs Assessment Committee

The Needs Assessment Committee reviews and recommends needs assessments, epidemiological data, research, and other informational activities as assigned by the Planning Council. They help to coordinate town halls, focus groups, and surveys along with Office staff.

The Needs Assessment Committee recently worked alongside the Finance and Comprehensive Planning Committees to plan service priorities for the Philadelphia EMA. The Ryan White Planning Council approved the list of priorities for the 2012 - 2013 fiscal year on June 9, 2011.

The Needs Assessment Committee also planned the recently completed spring tour of town halls. (If you're HIV-positive and missed our town halls, please take our survey! Your input is important and will be included in the planning process.)

This committee meets on the second Monday of the month from 2 p.m. - 4 p.m. Please see the calendar for upcoming meeting information.
