Summary of Request:
Everyone deserves the opportunity to live a long, healthy life free from preventable disease and injury. In fact, that’s what public health workers strive toward every single day. Inside Mendocino County's 3 public health offices, public health workers ensure the basic foundations necessary for good health - clean water, safe food, breathable air and access to life-saving vaccines, just to name a few. But to truly become the healthiest nation by 2030, we must also take momentous steps toward achieving health equity. And achieving health equity means taking on the social determinants of health that often put good health and longevity out of reach for so many in Mendocino County. We want to change that dynamic - and it will take all hands on deck to do it.
Healthy Mendocino has drafted Mendocino County's Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP), setting goals and measurable objectives that really stretch us to address the social determinants of health. The CHIP includes the 5 target areas of poverty, housing, mental health, childhood trauma and family and child wellness. Consider joining an action team in your community. Visit www.healthymendocino.org and look for Action Teams to see what Public Health, along with the larger public health system of partners, is doing to achieve health equity in Mendocino County.
Other topics to be discussed include Public Health Accreditation, a new public/private partnership around syndromic surveillance, SafeRx Mendocino Opioid Prevention video, Cannabis Education, the up and coming "Lock it Up" campaign and Public Health's new Healthy Families Mendocino home-visiting program for pregnant women.
