carfentanyl (htt ://o iatecollaborative.cu aho acount .us). Through this work, we have <br />coordinated the distribution of the naloxone overdose reversal drug to police <br />departments in almost 50 Cuyahoga County communities and work to educate families, <br />community providers, safety forces, students and administrators in academic settings. <br />Our work also focuses on a range of existing and emerging public health issues <br />including school age childhood vaccinations and boosters; novel influenza and annual <br />pneumonia vaccinations; educating the public on Zika virus and other mosquito -borne <br />illnesses; and responding to 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 underinsured and uninsured clients as these roles are <br />evolving in the context of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Public health emergency <br />preparedness and response continues to be an important responsibility in support in our <br />communities. <br />Our five year strategic plan (2016-20) is designed to best position the agency to <br />lead with our talented workforce, capitalize on new technology, build essential <br />communication and community engagement capacity, address priority health problems <br />and attain national public health accreditation (http://www.ccbh.net/strategic-planning/). <br />These efforts are supported by the guiding principles of health equity, where all people <br />have the opportunity to attain their full health potential, regardless of their race, income <br />or other social determinants of health. Two issues featured in the plan include linking <br />clinical medicine and public health to address chronic diseases like asthma, obesity and <br />diabetes and reducing infant mortality. Both of these priorities are tied to a statewide <br />health improvement strategy. <br />Please contact me if you have any questions concerning the 2017 contract, or if <br />you would like us to come to your city to present our contract to your administration or <br />council. <br />Sincerely, <br />-RA-,L <br />Terry Allan, RS, MPH <br />Health Commissioner <br />5550 Venture Drive <br />Direct: 216.201-2000 ♦ Fax: 216-676-1311 <br />Parma, Ohio 44130 <br />♦ TTY: 216.676-1313 ♦ www.ccbh.net <br />Terrence M.
