Overcoming Barriers to Completion of Dental AuditsCedar County Public Health sought to address the low rate of children who had a record of receiving a dental screening prior to entering kindergarten. We believed this was due to a shortage of dentists in our county as well as the difficulty health officials encountered performing school dental audits. Sep 23, 2015 | Alyson Jordan |
Providing Medical Care at Large Public EventsVolunteers from the Lewis County MRC and Providence Health & Services provided services to 503 riders, including 135 who required hands-on patient care, at the mid-route medical aid station in Centralia, Washington for 10,000 bicyclists riding in the 2015 Seattle-to-Portland Bicycle Classic. This experience was excellent medical surge training for closely allied community partners. Sep 21, 2015 | Alyson Jordan |
School Based Oral Health ProgramLocal health departments serve as a clearinghouse to bring oral health services to children in local public schools. Health departments promote the oral health program to schools, and contract with dental providers to ensure that their licensing, background checks and insurance are up to date. Data is collected by the health department and reported back to the schools. Sep 16, 2015 | Alyson Jordan |
Tracking Flu in a Large Urban Area…A Complicated MatterTracking flu is no easy task, especially in Harris County, Texas; millions of residents, dozens of acute care hospitals, countless physicians’ offices, and collaboration with many public health partners. Adding to this complexity, only pediatric fatal flu cases and novel influenza are notifiable in Texas. Our solution, approach schools for voluntary reporting. The result, priceless!

Oral Health to Enhance “Educational Readiness”For over 10 years, the DC Department of Health (DOH) has supported preventive oral health services for school-age children. Increasing tooth decay prevalence among younger children necessitated an early intervention approach. Although the Dental Officer implemented a "perinatal" strategy to decay prevention, the program needed an evaluation plan to measure the effectiveness of these efforts. Sep 09, 2015 | Alyson Jordan |
WV Volunteer Dentists Develop Community Adult Treatment ProgramThe Smiles for Life Adult Screening and Referral Program provides a safety net for most needed dental treatment to low income adults in the Mid-Ohio Valley Health Department (MOVHD) Region. Prior to its establishment there was not a public health program addressing adult oral health needs. The program demonstrates a true community partnership. Aug 19, 2015 | Alyson Jordan |
