The answer to this question holds the key to how healthy you are. Did you know that (setting genetics aside) only 10% of your health status is determined by the health services you receive? How much education you have, what income you have, the environment you live in, and your access to healthy foods and activities have more to do with determining our health outcomes than do the health services you recieve.

The Barrington/Starkey/Dundee Health Improvement Project, also known as

"Our Town RoCKS" has the ultimate goal of improving the health of the residents of the project area.

The residents of Barrington, Starkey and Dundee welcome you to their journey to improve the health of their families and their community.
