The Health District of Northern Larimer County is hosting public forums where people can share their thoughts, hopes and concerns about community health issues.

Feedback gathered at the forums will be used for research purposes only as the Health District seeks to better understand the health, and health-care needs, of local residents.

The Community Health Forums are part of the Community Health Assessment, which the Health District has performed every three years since 1995. The assessment also includes a random survey of Larimer County households that is currently underway. Information gathered during the Community Health Assessment helps guide the planning and design of programs and services at the Health District. It is also shared with other local organizations working on health-related issues.
