    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: RE-WEAVING THE URBAN FABRIC: A NEW MIDTOWN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD IN NEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA Abigail Buckley Cronin, Master of Architecture, 2005 Thesis Directed by: Professor Roger K. Lewis School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation American cities have been struggling with suburban sprawl and urban flight for the last fifty years. With rising costs, lengthening commutes, limited resources and shrinking open land, many residents are reconsidering life outside the city. If communities are to reevaluate their settlement patterns and look to new life in the urban center, to what extent can urban design and architecture re-weave and revive a once thriving district on the verge of collapse? Downtown Newport News has witnessed an urban flight, leaving the city abandoned and deteriorating. This thesis will propose to reconnect midtown with the Parkside community to provide public amenity, increased access, and future growth potential, serving as a prototype for development within Newport News and beyond. A variety of housing options will be explored, with the premise that instead of providing only parking for the shipyard, the city should provide housing options, close to work and other amenities that can result from a dynamic urban waterfront community RE-WEAVING THE URBAN FABRIC: A NEW MIDTOWN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD IN NEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA by Abigail Buckley Cronin Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park in partial fulfillment of the requirements

Prior CHNA Year‐end Progress Report 48 1 Introduction Sentara Port Warwick Ambulatory Surgery Center has conducted a community health needs assessment in collaboration with Sentara CarePlex Hospital. The assessment provides us with a picture of the health status of the residents in our communities and provides us with information about health and health-related problems that impact health status. Our assessment includes a review of population characteristics such as age, educational level, and racial and ethnic composition because social factors are important determinants of health. The assessment also looks at risk factors like obesity and smoking and at health indicators such as infant mortality and preventable hospitalizations. Community input is important so the assessment also includes survey results from key stakeholders including public health, social services, service providers, and those who represent underserved populations. An additional survey of Hampton Roads residents on key health topics was included. The report also includes findings from focus groups with community members on health issues and barriers to achieving good health. The needs assessment identifies numerous health issues that our communities face.
