Work with community partners a major strength for Public Health 

It’s Public Health Week, and Public Health Organizations across the country are celebrating by promoting the work they do in their local communities. Sarah Kjono of Norman-Mahnomen Public Health says the ultimate mission of Public Health is to help fill in healthcare gaps in the communities they serve, and they do this by working with local partners. 

Kjono says these partnerships with other local entities is what she’s most proud of on a Public Health level, as it is a major strength when situations arise, or a community need comes forward.
