Health and Fitness : Public Health will now be located at the Rural Access Center

Virginia Gay Hospital has proudly served Benton County Public Health needs for the last 28 years. As we transition Public Health to a County based department, we would like to welcome our new Public Health Administrator Grace Petrzelka! Benton County Public Health will now be located at The Rural Access Hub, 811 D Ave. Vinton, IA 52349. Phone 319-214-2601, Fax 319-214-2602.

I am incredibly thankful for Virginia Gay Hospital's expertise and support as we transition to a county-based public health department. As a resident of Benton County myself, I am excited for the new and enhanced opportunities that will be available to our communities, with the compassion and dedication we have seen demonstrated the past few decades persisting forward. I look forward to working with our community partners in all aspects, from the provision of mental health services to maternal/child support to food insecurity in our county, and a great deal more. Please stay tuned for further updates from Benton County Public Health, and I hope to see many of you at community events throughout the summer!
