ACTION has two goals: to work together within current systems to communicate/coordinate services for individuals, which are more creative, efficient and effective; Together we can empower residents to identify their needs and become active partners in addressing those needs, through the building of community partnerships.
Social Health Teams were created to carry out the mission and vision of ACTION into smaller geographic areas (individual school geographical lines) with the focus on individual’s needs and planning to meet those needs. There are currently 28 Social Health Teams in Sioux City and 3 rural in Woodbury County.
