The monthly Healthy Cass County meeting was held Monday, November 12th in Atlantic, at Cass County Public Health. Officials say the group discussed progress on the Cass County Health Improvement Plan related to tobacco prevention in the county. Additionally, they submitted an application for the 2019 Healthy Hometown Community Award powered by Wellmark.

Four tactics were chosen highlighting various health and wellbeing initiatives that occurred throughout the county within the past year. The highlighted tactics included farm-to-school programming, locally grown foods, opportunities for physical activity and community spaces for social interaction. Those tactics covered all three of the Healthy Hometown categories: Eat Well, Move Move and Feel Better.
