Hosting community events is a vital strategy for health departments, providing a platform for direct engagement with residents, especially families. These events serve as a two-way communication channel, enabling health departments to assess community needs, distribute resources, and educate residents on health topics. Additionally, events facilitate partnerships with local organizations, fostering trust and collaboration between health departments and the communities they serve.
