Wanted: Volunteers for NHD Community Focus Groups

Your Opinion Counts!

Guest blog by Brad King

Norwood City Health Department (NCHD) is working with Designing Success, Inc. to conduct the 2011 Norwood Community Health Assessment. The purpose of the Community Health Assessment is to assist the NCHD staff and Board of Health in evaluating community health related concerns. The collected information will allow the NCHD to develop appropriate programs and services for the residents and community members of Norwood.

Surveys will be provided to four groups: Norwood residents, Business and Community Organizations working in Norwood, Norwood Community Leaders and NCHD staff.

We would like to invite you to participate in one of the Community Focus Groups (see list below) during the month of November or December, 2011. The focus group will last up to ninety minutes based on the size of the group. We ask that you either work or live in the City of Norwood.

Your assistance with this project will help to make Norwood an even better place for people to live and work.

If you would like to participate or have any questions please contact Elizabeth Sabo Johnson, Coordinator at (513) 289-5721 or saboliz@designingsuccess.com. We look forward to working with you and appreciate your assistance.
