Please take a few minutes to fill out our H1N1 survey
The Champaign-Urbana Public Health District, like public health agencies across the country and around the world, responded to the H1N1 Influenza Pandemic. Like any large-scale operation, we are sure of two points: (1) Some things went well and (2) there is always room for improvement. We appreciate your willingness to provide us with feedback on our response by taking this survey.
WCIA News did a story on November 6th about the Public Health District and the national recognition CUPHD has gotten. Watch the video
