Take a Moment to be Counted- Participate in the Thumb Health Survey

Have you received a letter from Michigan State University lately? If so, you may be receiving an important phone call soon. The call you receive will ask you to answer survey questions that are important to improving healthcare in Huron, Sanilac, and Tuscola counties. So please, don’t hang up that phone. Your results are completely confidential and the statistics gathered from all survey participants are important. The survey is sponsored by the Thumb Rural Health Network (TRHN). TRHN members are the hospitals and health departments of Huron, Sanilac and Tuscola Counties. The project will be used to assess the health of adults in the Thumb, plan programs to improve the health of Thumb residents, help your local hospital and health department to address local health issues,and help health providers evaluate their efforts. Results will be used to bring grants and other funding to your local community. Healthcare providers will use your input to plan programs that will make a difference to your health and the lives of your loved ones! Take a little time to have your say. For more information, you may contact Kay Balcer, Project Consultant at 989-479-3468. For health data already collected and compiled by TRHN, download the Huron-Sanilac-Tuscola County 2003 Behavioral Risk Factor Survey-Powerpoint or 2003 Full Report & Tables or Thumb Health Data Book-April 2007 .
