When visiting the Sawyer County Network of Care website, people will find a number of different resources including community services, a resource library, information on assistive devices, insurance programs and more. The website development and ongoing maintenance is supported by Sawyer County Public Health with funding from grants and financial support from the Hayward Area Memorial Hospital. They support hundreds of websites throughout the United States with the goal of providing fast and easy access to comprehensive community services, information, support and assistance on a localized level. Network of Care is the largest government-sponsored, community-based online platform in the country. The Sawyer County Public Health Department partnered with the Network of Care to develop the website. The website also has an extensive library of resources related to a variety of health and wellness topics.
The purpose of the website is to support a healthier Sawyer County by providing county wide health and wellness resource database to share services, educational opportunities, programs and support groups that are available in Sawyer County.
“That awareness lead to the development of the Sawyer County Network of Care website.” “In survey comments, during focus groups and as we have begun establishing committees and work groups, we have heard that there are many community resources that people don’t know about,” says Julia Lyons, Director of Sawyer County Health and Human Services. One of the top priorities identified in the plan was the need for more information about services and resources available in the county.
