Public asked to complete community health assessment

MT. PLEASANT — Henry County Public Health, Henry County Health Center, and ISU Extension and Outreach are partnering to complete a new community health assessment of Henry County.

This assessment will include gathering input on what is important for a healthy community, any problems you have accessing health care, and what you think should be our top priorities to improve the overall health of Henry County.

Your voice is important, and we want to hear from you! Everyone who lives or works in Henry County is invited to fill out the survey one time during the month of June.

This information will be used to determine priorities for future community health programs and activities and also helps us to get funding!

You can take the short survey online at surveymonkey.com/r/HealthyHenry or fill out a paper survey at Public Health, Henry County Extension office, HCHC ER, or the New London, Wayland, and Winfield clinics. Spanish surveys are available at Public Health.

All responses are anonymous. Please encourage your friends and neighbors to fill this out so we can hear from as many people as possible. Additional materials to post or share at your place of business are available at Public Health.

Thank you in advance for helping us better understand your health needs so that we can work to create a healthier Henry County! If you have any questions, please contact Public Health at 319-385-0779 or stop by 106 N. Jackson St., Suite 103 in Mt. Pleasant.
