Mental health, chronic disease and substance use to the list of health priorities in the latest Fond du Lac County Community Health Assessment.   Public Health Officer Kim Mueller says the assessment results released this week reflect findings similar to previous years.   Mueller says mental health, chronic disease, such as obesity, and substance use remain among the top health concerns in the county.  “Those are really big problems that don’t just get fixed overnight,”  Mueller told WFDL news.    Mueller says the report will be used by Community Health Assessment partnerrs and local health coalitions to develop  a three-year community health improvement plan.
