Healthy Communities Project
2006 IPLAN

 

The Knox County Health Department completed its IPLAN in September 2006

and identified the top six health priorities to focus on over the next five year

period (2006 – 2011). The priorities selected were these:

• cardiovascular disease
  
• respiratory disease
  
• dental and oral health
  
• access to primary and preventative health care
  
• mental health
  
• substance abuse.

July 28, 2006, the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) approved

our community needs assessment and health plan (IPLAN) and granted the

Knox County Health Department certification as a local health department

for a period of five years.
