Wellness
LCHD has received funding from the Iowa Department of Public Health and the Wellmark Foundation to work on wellness programs aimed at youth, and area communities. In 2010, Live Healthy Lee County was created to work on improving the overall health and wellness of Lee County residents.

SIRCLE
SIRCLE stands for Southeast Iowa Regional Coalition for Lifestyle Enhancement. The coalition is a group of professionals who work together to improve the lifestyles of the people who live in their communities. They collaborate on projects, work on goals they created, and educate the public on the issues at hand. The coalition meets once a quarter at different locations in the region (Lee, Des Moines, Henry counties). The next meeting is TBA.
Every spring SIRCLE holds the Healthy Lifestyles Conference that brings speakers from across the country and state to update area professionals on obesity issues and physical activity. The 2012 Healthy Lifestyles Conference will be held on April 25 at the Comfort Suites in Burlington, Iowa. Registration information will be posted in February/March.
