2 Message from the Board of Health It has been said that our most important asset is good health. The Cecil County Board of Health works in a partnership with you, your family and your community to protect that vital asset. The Board of Health is composed of the County Commissioners and the Health Officer. Every year the Cecil County Health Department reports to the public what they have accomplished. Enclosed is the report for Fiscal Year Working together we will continue to be a healthy county. Nelson K. Bolender, President Message from the Health Officer This Annual Report, like those of previous years, shows some of the ways in which public health impacts life in Cecil County. All residents are protected by the public health system in our county. What is public health? One way to answer this question is by listing what public health does. Six essential functions of the public health system have been described: Preventing epidemics and the spread of disease Protecting against environmental hazards Preventing injuries Promoting and encouraging healthy behaviors Responding to disasters and assisting in recovery, and Assuring the quality and accessibility of health services. This report identifies specific accomplishments in each of these categories during Fiscal Year In addition, the Cecil County Community Health Advisory Committee has identified five priority health problems for focused efforts during this decade. Community task forces are helping to plan strategies for each of the priority health problems, including: 1. Tobacco use 2. Cancer 3. Lifestyle and nutrition 4. Accidents and unintentional injury, and 5. Alcohol and drug abuse. During Fiscal Year 2006, the Alcohol and Drug Task Force was expanded and appointed as the Cecil County Alcohol and Drug Council. Everyone s help is needed to improve public health. You can help, for example, by ensuring that your children receive all their immunizations, by encouraging your family and neighbors in their efforts to stop smoking, or by joining one of the task forces. This report sets forth some of the many activities involved in improving the health of Cecil County. We hope you will find it interesting. If you have any questions or comments about the work of the Health Department, or if you would like to participate in one of the task forces, please call us at Virginia R. Bailey, MD, MPH Health Officer

6 Major Accomplishments in Fiscal Year 2006 Drug Court - In coordination with Circuit Court and other community stakeholders, an Adult Treatment Drug Court was established this year. Drug Courts have been proven to reduce re-arrest rates by helping substance-dependent criminal offenders to establish healthier lifestyles, through increased intensity of treatment, closer supervision and reporting to courts. Subdivision and Development Review - Growth and development pressures in Cecil County are causing an increase in the number of plans for proposed developments which must be reviewed. The Environmental Health Division reviews proposals for new development and subdivisions for compliance with Maryland Department of the Environment requirements governing water supply and sewage disposal. The Health Department s review is coordinated with that of other County and State agencies through monthly meetings of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and the Planning Commission; plans are reviewed at the concept, preliminary and final stages. For this fiscal year a total of 119 development reviews were conducted for the TAC meetings and 159 reviews for the Planning Commission meetings. Pandemic Influenza Summit - A Pandemic Influenza Summit was held to coordinate community pandemic influenza planning efforts. Over forty representatives from various Cecil County agencies, community organizations, and businesses attended the Summit to learn about pandemic influenza and to begin a joint-planning coalition. Influenza Vaccinations - Despite uncertainty surrounding vaccine availability and delivery schedules, Health Department staff administered flu shots by appointment and on a walk-in basis to 4,362 people. Developmental Disabilities and Mental Health Support Activities: Friendship Club - The Developmental Disabilities Program sponsored the formation of the Friendship Club for program clients. The Club s purpose is to provide individuals with developmental disabilities with much needed opportunities to meet with others in a social setting, form friendships, and enjoy leisure activities. Parent Workshops - The Mental Health Core Services Agency collaborated with the Department of Social Services to arrange a workshop conducted by Parents Place of Maryland. Thirty community agency staff and parents attended sessions covering: a) Effective Advocacy, b) Finding Resources, c) Special Education and d) Getting Needed Services. Wreath Laying Tribute - A Wreath Laying Tribute was held on April 6, 2006 to honor loved ones who lost their lives on Cecil County roadways due to motor vehicle accidents and to recognize their families. During the months of April and May, many young drivers need to make good decisions to drive safely during the prom season. Through the collaborative efforts of the Accidents Task Force and community partners, the wreath laying event brought awareness to this cause. ImmuNet - The Health Department and private medical offices in Cecil County began using ImmuNet, the State of Maryland s new State Immunization Registry. Four medical offices in Cecil County are currently participating. When a child receives an immunization from a participating physician, the immunization record is entered into ImmuNet. If the child changes physicians or moves, even to another county in Maryland, the new physician will be able to get the immunization record from ImmuNet if his/her office participates. 19,637 Cecil County immunization records have been entered into the ImmuNet system.
