The Greendale Health Department is conducting a community health assessment as part of strategic planning to focus the efforts of the department in the Village of Greendale. As part of the community health assessment, the Greendale Health Department is conducting a confidential on-line community survey.

"The purpose of the survey is to get resident input on what they feel are the greatest health issues that the health department and its partners should address," says Susan Shepeard, Health Director/Health Officer for the Greendale Health Department. "It also assesses [community] awareness of the services of the Health Department and their opinion on the how important these services are to them as a resident."

To take the survey on-line, please visit www.orghealth.com/ghd. The results of the survey will be summarized by an independent researcher and reported back to the Health Department. Resident input will help the Health Department identify and plan the work for the future.

"Feel free to share this information with your neighbors, friends and community groups," says Shepeard. "The more input we have, the better it will be for planning.

If you would like a hard copy of the survey, they will be available at the Greendale Health Department, Greendale Public Library and Village Hall. For more information, call the Greendale Health Department at (414) 423-2110.
