Dani Lagana of Mohave County Department of Public Health paid a visit to the meeting to share health community surveys. This survey is intended to gain citizen opinions on health improvements. Community input is needed as it is used as a tool to provide funding from nonprofits, it’s also a way to share health needs with the government. Normally, the assessments have a deadline of the end of March however, this year it has been extended to the end of April. These surveys can be accessed by visiting www.Mohave.gov by way of the link in the yellow box at the bottom of the page. Health opinions will also be gathered in person through focus groups this May. Anyone wanting to participate can contact Lagana directly at 928-753-0748 ext 4521 or by emailing lagand@mohave.gov.
