HEALTHY SOMERSET The Somerset County Health Improvement Coalition

The Starting Line The Health Department identified significant drug and alcohol abuse problems in the county. WE WERE NOT ALONE: The number one cause for hospital readmissions (within 30 days) Addictions and behavioral health issues 161,100 readmissions = $1,132,000,00 Readmission rate for behavioral health 25%

We Are Alone! Only provider in the county How do we fix This? Is it even possible? Enter MCHRC and the Somerset County Co- Occurring Initiative Most recent (2014) County Health Rankings Somerset County ranked # 1 in state.* * (Alcohol and Drug Use, excessive drinking and alcohol impaired driving deaths).

YOUR NEXT MISSION Childhood Obesity -Identified as a primary factor driving other health indicators. So our LHIC embraced OBESITY as our new top priority. -Obesity is the leading cause of preventable death in U.S. (200,000 deaths per year). -We knew what we had to do but with limited resources we once again turned to the MCHRC.

Lightening Strikes Twice Somerset Childhood Obesity Initiative Funded by MCHRC 70 members representing nearly every agency in the county got busy changing the county’s culture as it related to health. Kicked off our program with Somerset County’s First Annual Community Field Day. Featured healthy food and activities for the whole family people showed up.

WE MAY NEVER PASS THIS WAY AGAIN Took advantage of the momentum generated by the Field Day and ran with it. Outreach to schools (Assemblies, class presentations, Back to School Night, etc. Branding… New Logo displayed in 80 different store fronts.

The Somerset County Childhood Obesity Initiative Increase Physical Activity Fitness Trails: Jogging and walking trails. Bike Town: teaches youth bike skills, emphasizes safety, and promotes interest in biking. Rails to Trails: Hiking. Student Initiated construction of a Fitness Trail. Playground Equipment donated to establish neighborhood parks. Waterways: canoes and kayaks!

Play Ball! Brand New Gymnasium that offers: Yoga (youth and adult) Basketball Volleyball Dodgeball Kickball Golf lessons Dance (Zumba) classes

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT! Nutrition Somerset has historically struggled with both Food Insecurity and Food Deserts Community Garden at Health Department, (SHIP Newsletter, DHMH Website). ECI and the Inmate Garden! 5,000 pounds of fresh produce to over 400 families!

GUESS WHAT? They love it! Health department is teaching people how to grow, harvest, and prepare fresh vegetables. Community Gardens are popping up all over the county. People are growing vegetables in their back yards.

HOME VISITATION Program targets the most at-risk children. Referred to program by their primary care physician. Community Health Educators go to the home: ▫Increase Activity Level ▫Improve Nutrition, Family Meal Time ▫Beverage Consumption, TV Time ▫Shopping on a Budget ▫INDIVIDUALIZED and INTERACTIVE

FIELD OF DREAMS The county already looks and feels different! The county built an athletic complex, soccer field, baseball fields, a track. At first, very sparingly used. But, now… the fields are ALWAYS packed with people playing ball. It is a public health dream come true.
