Annual Report 2011

Serving the

McDonough County

Community

Since 1975

On behalf of the McDonough County Health Department and the McDonough County Board of Health, we are pleased to submit the 2011 McDonough County Health Department Annual Report. The McDonough County Health Department continues to rise above these challenging times with dedication and devotion to our residents’ health through promotion, protection and prevention. Many of the programs and services performed by public health are behind the scenes and occur without the public even noticing. Each day, public health inspects the food you eat, the water you drink, and the air you breathe. Public health insures women, infants, and children receive adequate nutrition, residents have access to immunizations, clean water, proper waste water facilities, and promotes the health and safety of residents. A good way to understand the importance of public health is to compare it to air. You can’t see air, but you know that it is there and your health and survival depends on it. This is often the case in public health- you can’t always see public health, but it is vital to your survival and much of your health depends on it. In 2011, the McDonough County Health Department and various community organizations, developed a 5 year strategic health plan for the county known as the Illinois Project for Local Assessment of Needs (IPLAN) for McDonough County. The top three health priorities in McDonough County for 2010-2015 are cardiovascular disease, obesity, and respiratory disease. The plan also recognizes the need for access to mental health care in the county. These priorities along with core public health services will help guide us as we strive to promote health, protect health, and prevent health-related issues in McDonough County. Over the years public health has changed dramatically as successes in vaccine preventable diseases, increased food safety, and new emerging public health issues took shape. For over 36 years, the McDonough County Health Department has focused on the ever changing public health needs of the McDonough County residents. The next time you see a public health worker, I hope you will thank them; they may have saved your life. Jon Dively, DDS Lynnette Cale, MS, CHES Board of Health President Administrator

History

On February 3, 1975, the McDonough County Board, by unanimous vote, established the McDonough County Health Department by resolution. The resolution stated “Be it resolved by the County Board of McDonough County, Illinois, that a Health Department is hereby established for the County of McDonough, and that the chairman of the County Board is instructed to appoint a Board of Health consisting of eight members.” On April 17, 1975, the McDonough County Board of Health held their first organizational meeting. The first personnel hired were the county health nurse and her secretary. The Health Depart-ment started operation on July 1, 1975, in a small rented room in the basement of McDonough District Hospital in Macomb. In August of 1976, we moved into the basement of 3 Doctor’s Lane in Macomb. On August 18, 1981, we moved to 303 East Jefferson Street, Macomb. On Janu-ary 15, 1988, we moved to our present location at 505 East Jackson Street, Macomb. On June 6, 1984, the McDonough County Board voted to allow a referendum to be placed before the voters with the purpose of establishing a stable tax base for the Health Department. On No-vember 6, 1984, the voters of McDonough County voted to support the Health Department through referendum.
