Community Needs Health Assessment
We are in the process of analyzing data from the recent Community Needs Health Assessment in collaboration with Two Rivers Public Health Department. The survey and responses are specific to our community, the purpose of the survey is to provide information to help us understand what community members think is going well, what they think could be better, and ideas for community improvement. We will share final survey results when they are available. We strive to be part of the solutions to help make our community the best it can be!
The survey should only take about 10 minutes to complete. Use QR code on the flyer (hover over the QR code with a cell phone camera and click the link that comes up). Or the direct link to the survey is:

The Importance of Rural Healthcare
Hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare entities are vital to rural communities. They provide residents of those communities with much needed healthcare options without the need to travel long distances. Staffing for healthcare can come from many avenues – one being homegrown talent. Check out the video featuring Minden natives, Dr. John (Andy) Craig and Dr. Cade Craig, discussing their start in the KHOP program and where they are now!
