MOUNT PLEASANT, Iowa — Area residents are invited to participate in a community-wide conversation about cancer in Henry County during a special presentation and open discussion hosted by the Iowa Cancer Registry.
The Henry County Cancer Presentation and Discussion will take place on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. at the Henry County Emergency Management Office, 900 W. Washington Street, Mt. Pleasant, with a virtual attendance option available through registration.
The event is part of the Cancer in Iowa: 99 Counties Project, a statewide initiative aimed at delivering local cancer data and enhancing public engagement around cancer prevention and control efforts.
Iowa Cancer Registry staff will share county-specific findings, including cancer incidence and key risk factors, followed by a community discussion. The goal is to listen to local concerns, gather feedback, and explore policy and behavioral changes that could reduce cancer risk and improve health outcomes in Henry County.
The meeting is free and open to the public, and residents are encouraged to attend in person or online. A portion of the session will be reserved for audience questions and comments, allowing community members to share their experiences and ideas directly with the project team.
For those attending virtually, a meeting link will be provided via email upon registration.
