The Mayflower Community is encouraging residents, employees, and friends to participate in the Iowa Department of Public Health(IDPH) survey, “Iowa Health Assessment,” that is being conducted locally by UnityPoint Health—Grinnell.
Since prior to the pandemic, Mayflower has been involved in the “Healthy Grinnell Initiative” grant, a program to promote health and well-being in the local community. The IDPH survey will provide information useful in this activity as participants voice their opinions about what they feel are the biggest health concerns Iowans face right now.
“Healthy Iowans,” the state health assessment (SHA) and state health improvement plan (SHIP), is beginning a new cycle. The results of the survey will provide a five-year blueprint for addressing our state’s most important health-related issues. Those factors could include the impact of the pandemic, financial resources, ability to get time off from work, and availability of nutritious food and medical care.
How can you be involved? Go to this site and take 10-15 minutes to complete the Iowa Health Assessment survey: https://www.cognitoforms.com/IowaDepartmentOfPublicHealth1/IowaHealthAssessment?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery.
