(KAIR)--A meeting Monday will examine the findings of a survey, focused on community health, conducted in Doniphan County.

According to information provided by the Doniphan County Health Department, the survey was conducted between the end of November until the end of January.

It was the outcome of a collaboration between the Doniphan County Economic Development Commission and the Health Department/Home Health, which began planning for the assessment in October 2017.

The community health survey was offered online, through the use of the Survey Monkey service. For those wanting to use a physical form, paper copies of the survey, and drop boxes, were placed in Doniphan County businesses.

It was offered to every citizen of Doniphan County.

The previous Doniphan County community health assessment was conducted in 1993.

The survey was intended to discover the areas of concern regarding healthy behaviors and to help fill the gaps in health services.

Grant opportunities to promote healthy behaviors are determined by the areas of concern shown thorough a community health assessment.

On Monday, a community meeting, focused on the findings, will be held at the Troy Library, from 6 until 8:00 that evening.

During the session, the results of the assessment will be analyzed and discussed, and the next steps in the process explored.

Prior to the community meeting, health providers will address the findings during a late afternoon session.

Representatives of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment will facilitate.
