Health Challenges
Residents of Van Buren and Cass Counties, Michigan, face significant health challenges compared to national averages. According to the Michigan Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), our counties report higher rates of chronic conditions like obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. In fact, over 35% of adults in our area are classified as obese, surpassing the national average of 30%. Smoking rates are also elevated, contributing to increased risks for heart disease and lung cancer. Addressing these disparities is critical for improving community health outcomes.
