Davis County Hospital & Clinics and Davis County Public Health are working together to complete the 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) for Davis County.

Completing a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) is a federal requirement for non-profit hospitals and must be completed at least every three years with input from the broader community, including public health. Data from this CHNA survey will help health care providers and community organizations improve the overall health and wellness of our community, and identify community needs, establish priorities for programs and services, and inform strategies to address gaps between critical needs and services. All Davis County, Iowa residents and business leaders are encouraged to participate. Included in the 2022 CHNA surveys are questions dealing with community health regarding service delivery, fitness, nutrition, and access to care. All survey responses are anonymous and completing the survey takes less than 10 minutes. 2022 Davis County Community Health Needs Assessment - Davis County Hospital & Clinics (dchc.org) - https://www.dchc.org/2021/07/07/2022-davis-county-community-health-needs-assessment/

Elementary Relay Update Due to several days of rainfall the K-2 stations and 3-6 field events have been cancelled. At this point in time the K-6 races on the track will continue as scheduled if the weather allows. Please continue to check FaceBook or the district’s website for any additional weather related updates that may occur tomorrow morning. As a reminder, should we unfortunately have to cancel all events for tomorrow due to weather, there is no scheduled rain date. Providing a rain date is not feasible due to the number of volunteers needed and scheduling. The safety of our students is always our first priority.
