Do you remember when you renewed your license plates & tags at the BMV and they asked if you'd like to donate $1 to the Save our Sight program? The purpose of the Save Our Sight program is to help children in Ohio have good vision and healthy eyes. One of the ways this is accomplished is through a grant process to provide protective eyewear for sports organizations (baseball/softball helmets & masks and sports goggles) as well as safety glasses for career tech schools. If you are a parent, coach or sport organization coordinator, the grant information for Superspecs and Play Hard. Don’t Blink. programs funded through the Ohio Department of Health’s (ODH) Save Our Sight fund in partnership with the Ohio Ophthalmological Society can be found here: https://superspecs.org/

Asthma is a chronic disease that affects the airways in the lungs. During an asthma attack, airways become inflamed, making it hard to breathe. Asthma attacks can be mild, moderate, or serious — and even life threatening. Did you know that Crawford County has a higher rate of children having asthma than both Ohio and the US? Reports have shown that roughly 16% of children in Crawford County (2,351) have asthma while Ohio is at 14% and the US is approximately 7%.

TONIGHT: Did you get enough of the auroras last night? Regardless of your answer...we have another great chance tonight! The cloud cover some of you have will need to clear out, otherwise most are in good standing based on current cloud cover forecasts. Lots of great reminders for even the best of smartphones are also available in the graphic! As soon as it gets dark you can find yourself in a dark spot with a clear sky and a good view of the northern horizon. Good luck!

Earlier this year we reported on the health needs identified during the latest survey of our community. (The Community Health Needs Assessment) That information was then reviewed and rolled into a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) that focuses efforts and resources to respond to health needs of our community. This is not done by any one agency in the community -- this is an effort made possible by MANY community partners. We're thrilled to be part of the process and can't wait to get to work to address the priorities the group has selected. To view the complete CHIP, please visit our website and scroll down to the middle of our home page to click on the document titled, "Crawford County CHIP 2026" : https://crawfordhealth.org/

If your home uses a well as the drinking water source, you can search for a copy of your well drilling log right from your home. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources maintains the database of all wells drilled in Ohio and they have an interactive map online that makes searching for a well log super easy. Just click on the link listed below, select Crawford County (or whichever county you are searching) and begin to zoom in to the area that interests you. Well logs are always filed by address. The well log will provide you with the total depth drilled, the depth the pump was placed, the original gallons per minute the well provided, the year it was drilled and the name of the driller. https://waterwells.ohiodnr.gov/search/interactive-search
For information about having one of our staff collect a water sample from your home to test it to make sure it is safe to drink, call (419)562-5871 and connect to the Environmental Health Division.

While most sore throats are caused by a viral infection, strep throat is actually the result of a bacterial infection that is more common in children than adults. A simple, rapid strep test by your doctor can help determine if it is a bacterial infection causing the pain and illness. A positive test result will often lead to a prescription of antibiotics to help you feel better. In general, strep throat will be a sudden onset of pain when swallowing, fever, swollen lymph nodes, tiny red spots on the roof of the mouth and sometimes white patches on the tonsils. (Usually you will not have a cough, runny nose, hoarseness of the voice or pink eye along with strep throat - those all go along with a viral infection, not a bacterial infection.) People with strep throat should stay home from school or work (or daycare) until they are fever-free and have taken their antibiotics for at least 12 hours. To learn more about strep throat, visit: https://www.cdc.gov/group-a-strep/about/strep-throat.html

It is estimated that listeriosis is the third leading cause of death from foodborne illness per year. Nearly everyone with listeriosis is hospitalized and unfortunately, one-quarter of pregnancy-associated cases result in fetal loss or death of the newborn. Listeriosis is most likely to sicken pregnant women and their newborns, adults aged 65 or older, and people with weakened immune systems. To learn more about listeriosis and the foods associated with this illness, visit: https://www.cdc.gov/listeria/about/index.html
