Hays County recently engaged with Initium Health to help with its plans to conduct a community health assessment, the county recently announced.
The Hays County Local Health Department’s assessment will gain input from community members to create a detailed community health improvement plan. The county will use Initium Health, a Denver-based healthcare consulting firm, to conduct the assessment, which was funded through a grant from the Texas Department of State Health Services.
“The grants awarded to the local health department allow us to accomplish previously set goals,” Hays County Local Health Department Director Tammy Crumley said. “This assessment will help us create long-term plans to respond to the health needs of our community and will be a step towards accreditation by the Public Health Accreditation Board.”
