Effingham County Health Department officials have scheduled a public forum to gather input on health-related challenges facing Effingham County. The forum will take place at 6:30 p.m. on July 12, at Effingham Hospital on Highway 119 in Springfield. 

 

The forum is part of a community health planning project known as Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP). The MAPP project is being managed by the Effingham County Health Department and the Georgia Southern University College of Public Health in an effort to identify the major health issues facing the citizens of Effingham County.

 

“This is an opportunity to come together as a community and talk about the problems we face and how we can solve them,” said Effingham County Health Department Nurse Manager, Cindy Grovenstein. “This project is a great thing for our county, but we need public input to make it successful.” 

 

Light refreshments will be provided. To RSVP for the July 12 meeting, please call the Effingham County Health Department at 754-6850.
