Health Campaigns and Education

Our mission is to create conditions for all people to live healthy lives in Polk County. One of the ways we accomplish this is through health campaigns and education around key initiatives like gun safety, sexual health, and childhood immunizations.

If you are interested in partnering to provide health education to a group you are a part of, send an email to our Outreach Coordinator. 

By the Numbers: A Public Health Podcast

You can also learn about public health concerns and strategies aimed at addressing them by listening to our podcast, By the Numbers. In each episode of By the Numbers, we dig into a single health-related data point affecting Polk County and talk about the bigger picture this data paints for those affected and for our community. We’re joined by local experts to talk about topics like sexually transmitted infections, cancer rates, mental health, communicable diseases and more.
