VRG IS RUNNING A SURVEY TO GIVE YOU DATA ON YOUR OWN PATIENT POPULATION!!

Through August and September, we are offering our partner agencies the opportunity to let their patients complete a brief 3-minute survey, rating their difficulty in completing 11 basic healthcare related tasks. Participant data is anonymized and shared with your site for your own patient population along with cumulative data for all patients and sites.

We hope to help you gain more insight into the tasks your patients might need extra support with!
Participation is free and easy – just let us know you are interested, and we will send you a flyer with a link/QR code that you can distribute at your agency for patients to complete at their convenience.
