KEWAUNEE COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) – The Kewaunee County Public Health Department and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Extension have teamed up to launch a health needs survey, and they’re hoping to use input from the public.
The short six question survey will be used to evaluate public perceptions of the County’s top health needs and develop the next 5-year Community Health Improvement Plan.
“That is going to look at some of the pressing needs that falls in public health and we’re gonna let the community kind of rank what they think is most pressing,” said Kewaunee County Public Health Department Director, Cindy Kinnard. “We’re going to take that information, we’re going to bring about a whole bunch of data that’s been collected over the last several years. We’re going to present that and then we’re gonna let people take a vote.”
Kinnard says public input will help identify and prioritize health needs in the community.
“We can take that information and we’re going to present it out on December 16th, then take a vote as to what our most pressing problems are so that we can make a new community health improvement plan for the upcoming five years,” Kinnard told WTAQ News. “We have the survey available on our website, on our Facebook page, and a number of other county-related Facebook pages…People can find that survey out there, take the survey, put their input, and then if they choose to, they’re welcome to join us December 16th for that final vote once all of the data that we collect is presented.”
The goal is to figure out what people in the community are thinking, and what they believe the most pressing health-related needs are in the community.
