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
