Our History
Our History
The Park County Health Coalition began in 1991 as two separate entities in Powell and Cody. Their goals were to tackle the communities’ health concerns within Park County as a whole.
While they were initially concerned about health care costs, both coalitions have shifted goals throughout the years as their community issues became more evident.
In 1994, the Cody and Powell coalitions were merged to form the Park County Health Coalition. Having received many grants throughout the years, the coalition has had the opportunity to focus on a number of pressing issues including motor vehicle crashes, seat belt initiatives, smoke-free public environments, health and wellness education, alcohol prevention, and more.
The Park County Health Coalition has been successful in bringing various issues to light within the community through educational gatherings held almost every year since 2001.
Today, the Park County Health Coalition has started a new journey with Healthy Park County – a program providing the necessary prevention resources, tools, and programs to support healthy lifestyles in Park County.
