The Wellness on Wheels (WOW) Van Wants to Hear From You!



Wright County Public Health is conducting a survey of services provided by the Wellness on Wheels Van.  We are asking existing users of WOW Van services to complete a survey when they visit and are also interested in the perspective of our community partners regarding the WOW Van services.   Most the people served by the WOW Van don't have health insurance or have high deductibles so may not have a clinic home.


Here is the link to the ten question, WOW van survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2NYM8TR
