Get Involved & Make Your Voice Heard

Clay County Public Health is looking for community members to act as experts on real-life health experiences as residents of the Northland. We need your input as we develop public health resources and programs. 

You don’t need any special skills, education, or professional experience. We want community members from all walks of life. Participants will be given refreshments and a gift card for their time.

Children are welcome to attend! And they are welcome to BE children. We will have some things to keep them busy, but we know that kids have wiggles and make noise, and that’s perfectly expected and okay. We don’t want caregivers of young children to feel excluded from this opportunity. Accommodations including interpretation services are available upon request, and all meetings will be held in ADA accessible locations.
