✨We're looking for someone to join our team for this Spring season!✨

Wheeler County Public Health is partnering with a consultant - Ronda Zakocs of Insight for Action - to facilitate the design of a community health assessment and community health improvement plan for Wheeler County from February through August 2025.

We are looking for someone who lives in Wheeler County (or close by) to administer a survey to Wheeler County residents. The purpose of the survey is to better understand residents’ perspectives on health and well-being. The 10-minute survey would be administered to people waiting to receive services or participating in community events held by churches or schools. (No personal individual medical history will be asked in this survey).

This individual will work closely with our consultant, Ronda and Sarah Hartenstein of Wheeler County Public Health.

Wheeler County Public Health has received another batch of air filtration devices (AFDs or air purifiers) to disperse into the community.

We are trying to reach the most vulnerable populations by setting a general criteria for those to receive a device. We are also hoping to reach those that may not be on Facebook, please help spread the word about this event to those that may need it most. Flyers are also posted around town to help spread the word.
