(Mason City) — The Cerro Gordo County Department of Public Health is asking county residents for help in assessing the health of Cerro Gordo County.
The Health Department is releasing the wellness survey to assess the physical activity, nutritional, and health behaviors of county residents. The new survey is a follow-up to a similar survey conducted in 2010 and will help the Health Department, along with other organizations, analyze the county’s trends in health promotion and wellness.
“As stated in our organization’s vision, the Health Department strives to make Cerro Gordo County the healthiest county in Iowa, and by learning specifically what our population needs and wants, we can focus on ensuring the appropriate health and wellness services and systems are in place,” says Kelli Huinker, Health Promotion Service Manager, Cerro Gordo County Department of Public Health. “The survey will pair nicely with Mason City’s local Blue Zones Project initiatives, but will also allow other local communities to provide their input so wellness and health programming can expand beyond the Mason City borders and throughout all of Cerro Gordo County.”
To access the survey, visit the Cerro Gordo County Department of Public Health’s website or complete a paper survey found at all the local community libraries.
