Fort Wayne, Ind. – Friday, Jan. 13, 2012 — Parkview, the Fort Wayne-Allen County Department of Health and IPFW have partnered to conduct a community health needs assessment survey in an effort to improve the health of the communities in northeast Indiana.
IPFW has randomly selected individuals within certain zip codes in Allen, Huntington, LaGrange, Noble, and Whitley counties. Surveys are being mailed to homes. Questions will ask about health status, behaviors that affect health and any new services that are viewed as needed.
By completing the survey, it will help identify how health-related organizations can impact personal health and health needs now and in the future. Individuals who receive a survey are strongly encouraged to complete it and mail it back in the postage-paid envelope.
