On April 1, 2025, the Board of Commissioners proclaimed Public Health Week in Benton County. The proclamation was read by Public Health Division Director, Sara Hartstein.
Benton County celebrated with a presentation on the 2024-2028 Regional Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). On April 15, 2025, the Board of Commissioners heard about the latest regional CHIP, presented by Amy Young, Project Manager for the Partnership for Community Health of Linn, Benton & Lincoln Counties.
“National Public Health Week is a great opportunity to share the Community Health Improvement Plan with the Board of Commissioners and our partners across the region. Attaining the highest level of health for a whole community involves all sectors uniting in places we live, work, learn, and play that promote well-being. This regional CHIP represents the community’s vision for a collaborative effort to address root causes of our health challenges”
Amy Young, PCH Project Manager
