The opioid epidemic has spread rapidly and uncontrollably through our country and our community. Research consistently links Adverse Childhood Experiences and Adverse Community Environments, the Pair of Aces, with opioid use and abuse. Ending this threat requires a coordinated, community-wide effort between non-traditional partners to address the immediate crisis as well as the root causes.
Annually, public health officials prepare for the upcoming influenza (flu) season and emphasize the importance of receiving the flu vaccine. To “lead by example,” NACCHO’s Employee Wellness and Flu Vaccination Initiative aims to promote a culture of total wellness among employees with a particular emphasis on preparing employees for the upcoming flu season.
In business, you don’t sell the competitor’s product; you sell your product – you want to prosper. In the non-profit or public health sector, you work together. What? Who gets the profit, the prize, the prosperity? As it turns out, the profit is in the partnership; community health is the prize; and we all prosper.
Smoke-free multi-unit housing benefits residents and property owners. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires every public housing agency to implement a smoke-free policy by July 2018. Local health departments play a key role in working with public housing agencies to prepare, implement, educate, enforce, and evaluate smoke-free housing policies.
How can a local health department respond to an onslaught of vector control (mosquito and rat) complaints? Easy, develop a special revenue fund to wholly fund an integrated pest management program. This self-sustaining funding mechanism allows for a proactive program aimed at minimizing the vector control disease burden.
Using newly-available data on nearly one million children in Colorado, the Colorado Children's Immunization Coalition (CCIC) developed custom fact sheets to help each Senate and House district understand its level of community protection and identify areas for improvement.
Minnesota is home to a culturally and socioeconomically diverse population and the state’s local public health departments serve as a critical safety net in provider of vaccinations for uninsured or underinsured individuals. However, it can be difficult to connect with the community members who need our services most. By attending the 2018 National Immunization Conference, we were able to learn...
Residents of multi-unit housing are at a greater risk of being exposed to secondhand smoke. El Paso County Public Health (EPCPH) is partnering with the Colorado Springs Housing Authority (CSHA) to implement a 100% smoke-free policy, with the objective of reducing secondhand smoke exposure and the harmful health effects of tobacco.
