Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

In the coming days and months, Freeborn County residents will have the opportunity to take part in an important study that will provide a health snapshot of the county. The survey is done every three years in partnership with Mower and Goodhue counties and the Mayo Clinic, and it helps us identify the top health needs in Freeborn County, how they are changing over time and how we can direct resources to address those health issues.

The survey is completely voluntary, and all answers are strictly confidential. Any potentially identifying information will not be linked to responses. The households that receive the survey are randomly selected and limited in number, so it’s especially important to complete the survey if you receive it.

This year, the survey can be completed by hand or online. You can access the online survey by scanning the QR code on the postcard or survey packet. If you, a family member, a friend or a neighbor receive a postcard or survey packet in the mail, know it’s not a scam. We are just looking to collect information so we can make informed decisions and improve the health of our communities.

If you have any questions about the survey, please contact us at Freeborn County Public Health 507-377-5100.

Your input is valuable, and it can make a real difference.
