CREATING HEALTHIER LIVES, TOGETHER
Good health is the foundation for a thriving community. When people can access healthcare, mental health services and preventive supports, they're better able to learn, work and care for their families.
THE NEED IN OUR COMMUNITY
- 1 in 4 adults experiences a mental illness each year.
- About 7% of babies in Black Hawk County are born at a low birth weight.
- Nearly 1 in 10 residents under age 65 lacks health insurance.
- 39% of adults in Black Hawk County are living with obesity, increasing the risk of chronic disease.
