Iowa Public Radio's Maura Curran reports the shift is being funded by the money local health departments use to provide services.

One health department will be the lead agency in each region and will administer state funds to agencies in the region instead of Iowa HHS.

The Polk County Health Department is applying for the lead agency in its region.

But Director Julianne Van Loo says the lead agency will have to use 15% of the region's public health funds to pay for administrative costs.

If due process means anything, it includes the right of a defendant to present relevant evidence to the court on the duration and conditions of the defendant's involuntary hospitalization, Spies said.

Spies said Schleyer also has rights under the rules of the Iowa Department of Human Services, which justify the court granting Schleyer's request for an independent violence risk assessment.

Schleyer would pay for the examination, and it would be conducted under conditions approved by the Cherokee facility, according to the motion.

A Kansas City, Missouri man is accused of sexually abusing a child between twenty eleven and twenty fifteen when the man was a teenager living in Cedar Rapids, according to a Linn County criminal complaint.

These findings suggest that the selected risk factors explain approximately 76% of Iowa's excess cancer burden among the five most commonly diagnosed cancers in Iowa, but do not fully explain the elevated incidence observed across all cancer types, the Key Drivers of Cancer in Iowa report says.

Researchers with the University of Iowa College of Public Health and the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services presented the report during a news conference Tuesday at the Lucas Building on the Iowa State Capitol Complex.

The report is the result of the first year of the college's research into Iowa's high cancer rates.

Robert Cruz, the state medical director and division director of public health within Iowa HHS, said the report was the most comprehensive in Iowa's history and the only one of its kind in the country, as far as the agency was aware.

The next round of funding will be announced in December, and CARS said Iowa could see even more funding this go-around.

Our goal is really straightforward, Cruz said.

The group has watched nervously as U.S. humanizations rates for other vaccine-preventable illnesses have begun to slip, leading to the resurgence of diseases such as measles, of which there has been a recent outbreak in southwest Wisconsin.

In 2025, 85.4% of Iowa two-year-olds received the recommended doses of polio vaccinations, according to Iowa Health and Human Services data.

In Dubuque County, the figure was 93.2%.

Sweeney hopes polio vaccination rates remain robust.
