LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Beginning April 22, the Lake County Health Services Department and the Board of Supervisors are collaborating with Hope Rising and other partners to present community visioning forums throughout the county on the topic of community health and wellness.
Forum panelists, county representatives and staff and community leaders from partner organizations, will share information with residents on some truly outstanding resources that are available, and programs that are already improving our health outcomes.
They will also seek public input on next steps.
“Engaging with local residents, and hearing their voices, is one of the best ways to develop understanding surrounding community health and wellness,” said Health Services Director Denise Pomeroy. “We need to hear what challenges people are facing. We need the community’s input to identify gaps in local services and systems, and plan the best way forward. Promoting public health is a community effort.”
Community members’ input and information presented at these meetings will contribute to the development of a community health improvement plan.
“We are committed to working with local residents toward a healthier Lake County,” said Pomeroy.
