Results from the Community Needs Assessment from Forest, Oneida and Vilas Counties show alcohol and drug use, mental health and chronic disease prevention as the top three health concerns facing the Northwoods. The Division of Public Health, UW-Extension and Ministry Health Care from the three counties are working to establish a health care plan for the Northwoods, but Oneida County Health Department Director Linda Conlon says public input is needed.
“…We are encouraging the public to go to any of the county’s websites, whether it’s Oneida, Vilas or Forest public health. We have our Community Needs Assessment available on the front of our webpage; there is a survey available and that will direct you to questions that we want answers to.”
Conlon says the Community Needs Assessment is available online.
For more information visit Oneida, Vilas or Forest County’s public health webpage.
