Upcoming Focus Groups!

3/12/2018

1 Comment

 
Dates for the 2018 Healthy! Capital Counties focus groups have been set!

We are trying to collect people's experiences, thoughts, and opinions on how healthy they are, and what in their community helps them stay healthy or keeps them from being healthy. We are interested in hearing from people who are "healthy" as well as those who may think that they are "not healthy".

Persons must fit the following criteria for the various groups below, as well as be either uninsured, unemployed, have low income, on Medicaid, receiving food stamps (SNAP) or WIC, or being using a food bank/pantry. This is because we are trying to capture the experiences of those who are traditionally underserved by the medical and/or health communities.

Chronic Disease - April 5th at the Greater Lansing Housing Coalition. Contact Lisa Wegner at (517) 541-2606 or [email protected] for more information or to register.

Persons of Color - April 5th at the Allen Neighborhood Center, Lansing. Contact Abbi Lynch at (517) 541-2644 or [email protected] for more information or to register.

Special Needs/Disabilities - April 10th at Peckham Lansing. Contact Lisa Wegner at (517) 541-2606 or [email protected] for more information or to register.

Eaton County (Rural) - April 11th at Union Street Center, Eaton Rapids. Contact Abbi Lynch at (517) 541-2644 or [email protected] for more information or to register.

Clinton County (Rural) - April 24th at the Clinton County District Courthouse, St Johns. Contact Susan Peters at (517) 541-2652 or [email protected] for more information or to register.

Still to come - Spanish Language focus group in Lansing

Please help us spread the word! Visit our Healthy! Capital Counties Facebook page at www.facebook.com/HealthyCapitalCounties/ to see and share our posts about the various focus groups. Please contact Susan Peters at (517) 541-2652 or [email protected] with any questions or for electronic copies of fliers and other promotional materials.
