About Us

Nationwide approximately 90 million people suffer from a chronic illness, with 7 out of 10 deaths each year attributed to a chronic condition. Yet, these conditions are often preventable with lifestyle changes and screening programs for early detection.

The Healthy Communities of Clinton County Coalition was formed in 2007. The coalition is a partnership of healthcare providers, service care proviers, educators and community leaders who are interested in addressing issues of heath in the Clinton County community. In the time that it has been established the coalition has received grants through several health organizations to address issues of safety, tobacco cessation, asthma education, obesity prevention, and minority health within the community.

This website was created with the goal of educating the public as well as our partners about the continuing efforts of the coalition. In addition, we would like to offer this site as a place for the community to find resources that promote health and safety in our county.

We hope you enjoy the resources you find here! For more information or suggestions please contact Carol Price at 765-659-3240.
