Health First Kosciusko

Health First Kosciusko Health First Indiana is an initiative created by Senate Enrolled Act 4, legislation passed by the 2023 Indiana General Assembly that transforms public health.

The legislation provides funding so counties can determine the health needs of their community and implement evidence-based programs focused on prevention. Health First Indiana establishes a public health infrastructure through a state and local partnership where services are delivered at the county level. Kosciusko County chose to opt-in to the new funding establishing the name Health First Kosciusko which stems from the Kosciusko County Health Department. The funding is used in providing assistance with core public health services, such as:

Trauma and Injury Prevention
Chronic Disease Prevention
Infectious Disease Prevention and Control
Maternal and Child Health
Immunizations
Tobacco and Vaping Prevention and Cessation
Fatality Review
School Health Liaison
Lead Case Management and Risk Assessment
Access and Linkage to Clinical Care
Tuberculosis Prevention and Case Management
Emergency Preparedness
Vital Records
Food Protection
Environmental Public Health

National Sudden Cardiac Arrest Month

One of our achievements at Health First Kosciusko is to provide safety measures like AEDs to put in our schools. The idea is to never need them, however, if we do need them, they are ready and available. We have been placing AED and AED equipment in the schools of Kosciusko County for over a year now. In August, we supplied some schools with Zoll pads, cabinets, and wall signs. Many people have chronic diseases, therefore, we never know when a child or adult may go into cardiac arrest. Our schools are prepared for this and other emergencies with current medical training and supplies. Thanks to Health First Indiana funding, we were able to supply these life saving measures.
