adults also associated with heroin in Cuyahoga County <br />(http://opiatecollaborative.cuvahoqacountv.us) . <br />We recently released a community health status assessment for Cuyahoga County <br />(http://ccbh.info/hipcuyahoqa/?page id=1175) and we are building a health <br />improvement plan that engages the community in addressing our priority health <br />problems. We are proud to tell you our enforcement of Ohio's smokefree law has <br />yielded a decrease in hospital chief complaints for heart attacks by 28% after the ban <br />took effect. Locally, our enforcement efforts have yielded over a 95% compliance rate <br />among our bars, restaurants, bowling alleys and other businesses, saving millions in <br />tobacco-related healthcare costs for our citizens and communities. <br />Our work also focuses on a range of existing and emerging public health issues <br />including school age childhood vaccinations and boosters; influenza and pneumonia <br />vaccinations; preventing the movement of raccoon strain rabies from eastern Ohio into <br />Cuyahoga County; and responding and mitigating the proliferation of bed bug related <br />complaints in residential, business and institutional settings. On the clinical front, we <br />provide safety net services for residents for underinsured and uninsured clients. <br />We remain focused on delivering high quality public health services to your community. <br />Please contact me if you have any questions concerning the 2014 contract, or if you <br />would like us to come to your city and present our contract to your administration or <br />council. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Terrence M.
