Hello.  I’m Mary, new to the Mesa County Health Department Health Promotions team and Healthy Mesa County. After 17 years of working with non-profits in Mesa County, I’m excited to continue to support our community and all the agencies and organizations that are working to make Mesa County a better place to live. I’m pretty partial to this place we call home! 

You’ve seen the billboards around town, a Facebook post or two, and maybe stopped by our website, but still wondering…what exactly is Healthy Mesa County? The goal of Healthy Mesa County is to improve the health and well-being of Mesa County residents. Healthy Mesa County is made up of more than 60 different organizations across sectors (public, private and non-profit), including health and human service agencies, education, service clubs, recreation/environment, youth and senior development services, and many more. We bring local agencies together toward a common goal – improving the health of our community.

So how does all this help you? We are continually updating Healthy Mesa County so you can quickly navigate community services.  Whether you are looking for parenting resources, health service providers, a listing of clubs and organizations or just want to find a list of bike trails, Healthy Mesa County can help!  Want to know about local meetings and events?
