Health In All Policies Presentation

9/11/19 @ 11:50 Primo Resturant

Our health is determined in large part by access to social and economic opportunities; the resources and supports available in our homes, neighborhoods, and communities; the quality of our schools; the safety of our workplaces and neighborhoods; and the cleanliness of our water, food, and air. No one's health should be compromised because of who they are or where they live.

Winnebago County Health Department staff, Alana Erickson & Niki Euhardy will be speaking about local health statistics in Winnebago County to demonstrate that access to health is not the same for all populations. They will share health data as it relates to disparities and discuss examples of WCHD's work to promote Health in All Polices. They will also provide suggestions on how organizations can work on diversity, equity and inclusion right here in Winnebago.

Vaccines are an important step in protecting adults against serious, sometimes deadly, diseases. Even if you were vaccinated at a younger age, the protection from some vaccines can wear off with time. As you get older, you may be at risk for vaccine-preventable diseases because of your age, job, hobbies, travel, or health conditions. Find out what vaccines you may be due for.
