Genesee County Residents- Complete the 2011 Speak to Your Health!
Community Survey to be entered into a drawing for one of ten $50 gift
cards.
You are invited to participate in the Speak to Your Health Community
Survey. This is a survey being conducted by the Prevention Research
Center of Michigan and the Genesee County Health Department. The goals
of this project are to use survey data to compare county health
conditions with national and state health conditions, examine the impact
of health initiatives on community health, and promote change that
improves the health of Genesee County communities. All residents of
Genesee County who are at least 18 years old are eligible to
participate. The survey only takes about 25 minutes and asks about your
health, neighborhood, and personal experiences. The on-line survey is
secure and encrypted so third parties cannot see your data. Your
participation is voluntary; you may stop at any time or choose not to
answer any question without penalty. To start the survey click here.
The CrimFit Youth Program takes a whole-body approach to health. The newest component to the program is mindfulness, which teaches children to focus their attention and make thoughtful decisions. For more information and to watch a video from a Mindful Schools lesson, please click here.
