Clay County Health Department created a survey that was available online and in our lobby. Unfortunately, many individuals did not take the time to fill out the survey and we have only recieved three individual responses. Two out of the three would like to learn about diabetes. One person would like it to be a web-based education and the other would like to recieve the education in person.  One out of three would like to learn about heart disease through an in-person presentation. Considering the results from the survey, Clay County Health Department is working on a way to meet the needs of these individuals in the best way possible.

Unfortunately, the healthy lifestyle in-class environment was not able to be successfully completed. However, we have received several responses to our educational information that is shared through our social media accounts. We will continue to work on different avenues to engage our community towards a healthier lifestyle.

In the meantime, the Clay County Health Department decided to have our Healthcare Providers become educated through lunch and learns regarding new weight loss medications available.
