Summit County Health Department staff unveiled a condensed electronic annual report summarizing 2023 operations and outcomes, highlighting outreach, clinical services and environmental health work and saying the report will be posted on the department website and distributed in the newsletter.
Phil (health department staff in the transcript) said the department presented a budget of roughly $8.4 million to the County Council for 2023 and described the report as a more sustainable, accessible way to showcase staff accomplishments. Staff members Kendra and Isaac led the condensed design and will post a final version on the website.
Isaac walked board members through program highlights: the behavioral health prevention team organized 36 events and attended 12 partner events, reaching about 9,727 residents; clinical nursing outreach held 54 events, resulting in increased visits for women's health, STI testing and immunizations; and the department administered 4,729 vaccines in 2023 while investigating 584 reportable diseases.
The WIC program reported a 33% increase in appointment requests following an October resource fair, which brought eight department programs and 18 community organizations together. Environmental health reported 4,500 bacterial tests in the lab, inspections of 400 restaurants, and permitting 115 septic systems; staff also oversaw HAZMAT remediation for an approximately 11,000-gallon gasoline spill.
Board members suggested minor editorial fixes to the draft and confirmed the document will appear as a PDF on the department website and in the weekly newsletter; staff said they will finalize the clinical behavioral-health content and ensure typos are corrected before publication.
