MASON CITY – Kara Vogelson, Organizational Development and Research Manager with the Cerro Gordo County Department of Public, was recently appointed to the Iowa Public Health Association Board of Directors. She will represent district 4 which includes a 39 county area in Northwest and North Central Iowa.

The Iowa Public Health Association (IPHA) is a professional association for Iowa’s public health community. Since 1925, this non-profit organization has served all areas of Iowa’s public health workforce by advocating for public health, and providing education, networking, and leadership development opportunities. The IPHA is an affiliate of the American Public Health Association.

Kara has been working in public health for over 10 years. She has held several positions of advancing responsibility within the Cerro Gordo County Department of Public Health including Environmental Health Specialist, Healthy Homes Coordinator, and Assistant Health Planner. Kara has worked on the delivery of many public health programs and services, created new programs, written local ordinance, and advised on public health policy. Her current duties include identifying and securing funding opportunities through new and potential partnerships, managing departmental planning documents (e.g. the strategic plan and the community health needs assessment – health improvement plan), and coordinating quality improvement initiatives.

“We are very proud to have Kara represent district 4,” said Ron Osterholm, Health Director, Cerro Gordo County Department of Public Health. “Iowa will benefit greatly from having her expertise, voice, and creativity on the IPHA Board of Directors.”

Kara will serve a two year term, and will then be eligible to run for reelection in the spring of 2017.
