Dubuque County asks residents to take public health assessment survey through Dec. 9

REAL DUBUQUE NEWS (RDN) - Health officials in Dubuque County are asking residents to take part in the 2026 Community Health Assessment survey, which runs Nov. 9 through Dec. 9, 2026. In a press release issued Nov. 9, officials from the Dubuque County Public Health Department said the survey gives residents an opportunity to share what they feel are the most important health needs and concerns in their communities. Feedback will help Dubuque County Public Health and its community partners better understand local health needs and determine priorities for future health improvement efforts. Input is sought not only from residents of Dubuque, but also from the county communities of Dyersville, Cascade, Farley, Epworth, Luxemburg and other locations in the county. "We want to hear from residents throughout Dubuque County, including those living in our smaller and rural communities," officials said. To gather data from the widest possible pool of residents, the survey is available in English, Spanish and Marshallese, the language of immigrants living in the county who hail from the U.S. Marshall Islands. Residents can participate by scanning one of the QR codes or by completing a paper copy, with paper surveys available at participating locations throughout Dubuque County.
