This project is going to require you to identify a specific health concern within your own community. Search LaGrande, Oregon. Your goal is to identify a health need within your community that you feel should be brought to the attention of someone specific (private individuals, congressional members, industry, state agencies, EOU campus community, church communities, etc.). The first assignment should help you identify the major health concerns within your community.

Specifically, for this assignment, you will:
