Public health official: community health needs assessment and volunteer free clinic coming this month
Summary
A county public-health representative said a community health needs assessment will be released later this month and volunteers have committed to staff an upcoming free clinic; Environmental Health is conducting pool inspections and perc tests ahead of Ragbrai.
Jotham Arber provided the board with Public Health updates during the Audubon County Board of Supervisors meeting on May 26.
Arber said a community health needs assessment will be published later this month and distributed to local health entities to help identify priorities. He reported that a volunteer-staffed free clinic has attracted local provider commitments and will offer free services to community members. Arber also said Environmental Health has been conducting swimming-pool inspections and perc tests, and that staff are preparing for the Ragbrai bicycle event passing through Exira.
The board received the updates; no formal action or vote on public-health programs was recorded in the minutes.
