Public health survey solicits rural needs and wants

Every five years, local public health agencies set priorities informed by community health assessments. Garfield County Public Health (GCPH) is looking for feedback on the issues impacting people living in Garfield County.

The public is invited to vote for the issues they feel matter most either through an online survey or by attending an in-person focus group.

The data collected will be used to identify health-related strengths and opportunities that will become part of the 2023 – 2028 Garfield County public health improvement plan.
