Cancer in Iowa: 99 Counties Project
A public meeting is planned for September in Le Mars to discuss cancer in Plymouth County. The September 2nd meeting will be held starting at 5 p.m. in the Le Mars Community Middle School library. The initiative is titled Cancer in Iowa: 99 Counties Project.
The meeting will include a presentation by staff from the Iowa Cancer Registry to discuss the project’s findings, address cancer concerns specific to our community and explore changes to support healthier behaviors.
One of the presenters will be Whitney Zahnd, PHD, Past-President of the Iowa Rural Health Association and Assistant Professor at the University of Iowa Department of Health Management and Policy.
Zahnd says the meeting is open to the public and will include an open discussion.
She says this is an opportunity to hear community concerns and gather feedback that could inform future cancer control efforts.
