• The Community Health Council is a collaborative effort by service providers and community members to promote cooperation and networking among agencies providing community health related services within Lincoln County.

•Our mission is to be the officially recognized entity through which health related issues, programs, and grants are coordinated. This will be best accomplished by providing an environment that fosters countywide involvement and true collaboration.

•Our members and participants include representatives from dozens of health related resources and services. They are health care providers, prevention specialists, educational institutions and organizations, youth organizations, private businesses, social services, government agencies, coalitions and concerned individuals. All are welcome to participate because we are all responsible for the health of our community.
