Public Health System Assessment
On August 14, 2009, public health system partners of Vigo County convened a meeting to evaluate how to better serve the public health and healthcare needs of the county’s estimated 105,000 residents. The Rural Health Innovation Collaborative hosted the all day event, in partnership with the Vigo County Health Department. The Indiana State Department of Health, in collaboration with Purdue University’s Healthcare Technical Assistance Program, worked together to create this opportunity for all local public health system partners to identify existing strengths, as well as opportunities to establish and formalize public health system infrastructure in Indiana counties.
