We have great news to celebrate in Cerro Gordo County. CG Public Health has been awarded $317,344 in state grant funding to support our North Iowa Peer Connect program.

This funding strengthens our ability to walk alongside individuals in recovery, offering dependable guidance, meaningful connection, and community resources that support long-term stability and health. Lasting community health takes collaboration, and strong local partnerships make this work possible.
