Community Health Assessment Summit

(Beaver Dam) Health conscious individuals are invited to attend a local health summit. Dodge and Jefferson counties are partnering with regional health organizations in hosting the Community Health Summit next month to discuss the results of their recent Community Health Assessment and explain next steps. Community Health Assessment is a health tool used to assess and prioritize significant health needs and create and create a Community Health Improvement Plan for improving the overall health of local communities. Organizers say that involvement from the community is critical to improving the health and wellbeing of our cities and towns.

Health organizations involved include the Jefferson County Health Department, Dodge County Human Services and Health Department, Watertown Department of Public Health, Marshfield Medical Center-Beaver Dam, Fort Healthcare, Watertown Regional Medical Center and Greater Watertown Community Health Foundation.
