Community plan focuses on health care access, mental health | Health & Fitness
A recently released plan by the Healthy Ottawa Advisory Council outlines strategies for improving community health throughout the county.
Almost 40 percent of “underserved” Ottawa County residents are struggling to meet their health care and mental health needs. A new plan outlines strategies to address this and several other issues identified in a community-wide health survey.
The Healthy Ottawa Advisory Council released the 2021 Healthy Ottawa Plan on Monday. The plan, released every three years, outlines responses to health issues identified by community members and stakeholders in the health care industry.
