During the previous Board of Health meeting on 4/25/2023, the Board approved of Jena Wells as the new Business Services Officer/ Vital Statistics Registrar. This candidate has since withdrawn her acceptance, so we have resumed interviewing for this open position.
Our PHAB Accreditation Specialist spent the day at the health department on 5/5/2023. She sent Jason and Andy the Community Health Assessment (CHA) addendum, and feedback was provided to improve it before submission. We remain on track to submit the necessary documents by our deadline of 5/15/2023.
Please review the attachments. Per accreditation guidelines, "the health department must document the provision of communication through which the department conveyed research findings and their public health implications to stakeholders, other health departments, members of the public health system and non-public health system partners, and/or the public."
Galion City Schools (GCS) contacted Galion City Health Department about how much it would cost to provide school nursing services. Please see the attachment to see the email that was sent to GCS.
The Strategic Plan is nearly complete. The goals still need to be finalized. This should be ready by next month's BOH meeting. The Strategic Plan is not needed for submission for our accreditation requirements at this time since we successfully completed those requirements the first time we applied for accreditation.
