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 Kosci

usko 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

May is National Stop the Bleed Month!

Why Learning Bleeding Control Matters:
The average human body contains only about 5 or 6 liters of blood. Severe blood loss can occur within minutes and can be catastrophic: blood is literally life. Loss of a significant amount of blood depletes the ability of vital organs and cells in the body to function properly, setting off a series of life-threatening events that can lead to worsening clinical outcomes and even death. Controlling bleeding helps by keeping the blood inside the body. (https://www.stopthebleed.org/news-advocacy/stop-the-bleed-resources-for-journalists/)

Drowning is the leading cause of injury death for children ages 1 to 4 years (CDC). These deaths are preventable and have a significant impact on entire communities.

With over 100 lakes in Kosciusko County and numerous homes with pools, we encourage everyone (children, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers) to educate themselves on drowning prevention.

In order to prevent future deaths from occurring, it’s important to familiarize ourselves with potential hazards in pools, retention ponds, open water, and inside the home.

The next WARN (Water Awareness in Residential Neighborhoods) Training for the public, which is completely FREE, will be held Wednesday, June 10 at 2:00 pm.
