Health department says community health survey exceeded goal, requests participation in $250,000 women’s health grant
Summary
Jason, the Henry County health department representative, told commissioners the community health assessment has surpassed its survey goal (about 540 responses) and asked to join a $250,000 grant led by the Henry County Community Foundation to expand women’s health services; commissioners approved participation by unanimous vote.
Jason, the Henry County health department representative, reported that the community health assessment survey has exceeded its target and that staff have collected about 540 responses. He announced two upcoming town halls — one at the county library at 6:00 p.m. and another in Nightstown at Bethel Presbyterian Church — to gather more community feedback. "We have exceeded our goal now," Jason said, encouraging wider participation.
Jason said the Henry County Community Foundation approached the health department about participating in a $250,000 grant to expand women’s health resources. He described the county’s anticipated role as purchasing supplies and materials and noted the county would seek a provider agreement with a medical provider before offering additional services. The commission approved the department’s request to be part of the letter of intent by voice vote, recorded as carrying 3-0.
