Buffalo County Community Partners is a county-wide effort with a focus on promoting and strengthening the health of Buffalo County.  Health, as defined by the World Health Organization, and endorsed by the partners as their definition for health, is a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. The vision of the Buffalo County Community Partners is that everyone from all corners of Buffalo County work together to improve the quality of life of those who live in and work in this community.  In so doing, our community focuses its time and resources on the things we value as a community, including: Nature & the Enviroment, Strong Sense of Community, Well Body, Mind and Spirit, Economy Nature & the Environment.
