Community leaders provide survey for input
(From the City of Joplin)
Community leaders have developed a general citizens’ survey to gauge the public’s ideas and opinions about several areas concerning Joplin and the future of our city. The survey can be completed electronically by clicking on the link at the end of this news release, or citizens may complete a hard copy of the survey at the Joplin Public Library. The survey is open to all citizens, regardless of residency.
The survey is a product of a work session held earlier this summer when the governing boards and executive leadership of the City of Joplin, Joplin Schools, Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce and Missouri Southern State University met to begin developing a vision for the future of Joplin. The daylong meeting held much discussion regarding rebuilding, development, ongoing projects, long-range goals and the overall future of Joplin.
The group developed five central goals or "themes," with each "theme" encompassing more specific goals related to the primary topic. The leadership is seeking the community’s perception of these areas and requested a survey to be conducted to gauge the public’s interests and priorities of these issues. With the survey findings, a clearer focus on the future of Joplin can be established.
The opening of the survey asks citizens to participate with the following statement:
“As a member of the Joplin community, your opinion matters, and Joplin area leadership wants to hear from you! Attached is a survey to learn more about what is important to you regarding the Joplin area. This survey is meant to gauge how the public feels about various themes and specific goals.
Please take a few minutes to complete this survey to provide feedback. The survey will be available until August 24.
After tabulating the results, this information will be shared with Joplin area leadership, as well as the public as Joplin moves forward with a brighter vision. Joplin leadership values your views and wants to include the public's thoughts into a thorough plan for our future.”

Joplin Health Department offering measles vaccinations
(From the Joplin Health Department)
The Joplin City Health Department will be offering measles vaccination at no cost to Missouri residents. There have been no confirmed cases in Joplin, although Missouri has had an increase in confirmed cases of measles.
The Department of Health and Senior Services Bureau of Communicable Disease Control and Prevention (DHSS) is recommending any person who has not been immunized and was born after 1957 to consider immunization. Please check your immunization records for the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine and contact the City of Joplin Health Department at 417-623-6122 if you have questions and/or to schedule an appointment.
Measles (also called rubeola, red measles, or hard measles) is a highly contagious virus and is a serious illness. Persons who remain unvaccinated put themselves and others in their community, particularly those who cannot be vaccinated, at risk for this disease and its complications. Currently, measles most often occurs in those who have never had measles or measles vaccine who are traveling into and out of the United States. Measles is transmitted person-to-person among close contacts when a person with measles coughs, sneezes, or breathes out tiny droplets with measles virus into the air and another person breathes them in. Transmission may also occur by handling or touching contaminated objects and then touching your eyes, nose, and/or mouth. Measles may be transmitted from 4 days before to 4 days after rash onset.
If you have been exposed to measles you should contact your healthcare provider if you develop cold-like symptoms with a fever and/or rash. Call before you go to the healthcare facility to prevent further spread.
For more information about measles, or to schedule a vaccination, please contact Jan Clark at the Joplin City Health Department: 417-623-6122.
For additional information about measles, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention web site at: http://www.cdc.gov/measles/index.html
