BE A PART OF THE SOLUTION – JOIN HEALTHY YANCEY!


 Healthy Yancey and the Yancey County Health Department recently completed the 2009 Community Health Assessment. Over 300 community members participated in this process in order to identify the most pressing community health issues. The top 3 issues that came out of this process were:

1. Lifestyle Choices (tobacco use, physical activity, nutrition)
2. Inaccessibility of Mental Health Services
3. High Cost and Lack of Health Insurance

Healthy Yancey will be forming action teams at its next steering committee meeting to address these concerns. “This is a perfect opportunity for folks in our community to step up and be a part of the solution. We need as much help as possible as we tackle these crucial community health issues,” said Joy Boothe, chairperson of Healthy Yancey.

Healthy Yancey will be meeting on Thursday, February 11th at noon at the Blue Ridge Fitness & Rehab Center in Burnsville. All members of the community are invited to attend.

Healthy Yancey is a partnership of concerned citizens working together to improve the quality of health in Yancey County. For more information, call Amy Sheele, Healthy Yancey Coordinator at 682-7899 or visit www.healthyyancey.org.
