Monroe County Health Department is teaming up with Great Rivers United Way, other local health departments, healthcare systems, schools, and other community organizations for Compass Now 2024. This survey is done every three years to understand the community needs and what health problems people are facing.

It is also used to apply for funding and grants, creating policies, and community development projects by community partners, and state and local leaders.“Compass is very important in helping us understand what issues our community members are facing. This is why we want to hear from as many people as we can,” said Health Officer Tiffany Giesler.To take the survey, go to www.compassnow.org or visit the Health Department at 315 W.
