Special Announcements:
There is still time to provide input. The Delaware County Council has contracted with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health to assess the delivery of public health services in Delaware County. Input from Delaware County residents is critical to the success of this effort. One way to participate is to complete a 10-15 minute online survey on how the County is addressing residents’ public health-related needs. All survey responses will be anonymous. The survey is open to all Delaware County residents over 18 years of age, now through January 31, 2020, and can be accessed at: https://tinyurl.com/DelCoSurvey. For assistance completing the survey or to complete the survey in another language, please contact us at delcohealthstudy@gmail.com.
