Community Health

Childcare Provider Training
First aid classes and an informational newsletter for childcare workers are offered bimonthly. Other training classes are periodically offered to the childcare community including: Recognizing Child Abuse, Childhood Nutrition, and Setting Health Policies in the Childcare Setting.

Outbreak Reporting and Monitoring
The Health District consults with the community, including local convalescent homes and restaurants, to assure that appropriate control measures are in place in the event of a communicable disease or food-borne outbreak.

Health Education
In cooperating with local and state agencies, we offer a variety of health education and promotion classes for both children and adults. Our classes range from Children's First Aid/Safety for Child Care Providers to Food Safety for Senior Citizens. New classes will continue to be offered according to the diverse needs of our residents.

Health Information Resource Center
The Health District has acquired informational material on a variety of health topics. Providers as well as residents are welcome to utilize these resources.
