The Fort Drum Regional Health Planning Organization (FDRHPO), is a nonprofit corporation located in Watertown, NY. It was founded more than a decade ago to connect Fort Drum soldiers and families with quality healthcare in the North Country Region. While it is still dedicated to that goal, FDRHPO has evolved to serve the broader community, working to improve the health of all individuals living in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties.Here at FDRHPO, we are proud to collaborate with local hospitals, health centers, primary care offices, and a variety of community-based organizations to identify and fill gaps in our region's healthcare system. We do much of our work "behind the scenes"​ -- surveying residents to understand local needs, strategizing with healthcare partners to find solutions, and securing necessary resources to make those solutions a reality.Our projects span the healthcare spectrum, ranging from population health, care coordination, and Health IT to emergency medical services, healthcare workforce, and mental, emotional and behavioral health.Whatever we are involved in, we're thinking about the future. FDRHPO's success is not measured day-to-day, but rather it is shown as we begin to see the health of the North Country improve from generation to generation.
