![Page 58: Windshield survey woodstock new york](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102320/54bd6e124a79594a7f8b4595/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

Conclusion: Over all, Woodstock has a healthy population. Community health illness is not evident to the casual observer. This is also a relatively safe place, unless one is living on the edge, on the street, and/or the drug culture. The Spanish speaking community is somewhat isolated, therefore are at a different public health risk.
![Page 60: Windshield survey woodstock new york](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102320/54bd6e124a79594a7f8b4595/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
The town government has yet to think in terms of how to assess or relate to Spanish only speaking residents. It does appear that thought in this direction are occurring within private agencies and local employers.
