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

Take control of your health today! Radon is a naturally occurring gas that can build up indoors, but with testing, you can protect yourself against the risk of lung cancer. Because it can’t be seen or smelled, testing your home is the only way to know your radon level and take the first step towards a safer tomorrow!

Radon is a colorless, tasteless and odorless gas that forms naturally as a result of the decay of uranium and radium found in rocks and soil. Radium eventually decays into radon gas, causing damage to lungs when inhaled. Exposure to radon is a serious public health concern in Indiana and the second leading cause of lung cancer. IDOH recommends that all Indiana residents test their homes for radon every 2-5 years.

Hydroponic Gardening Series.

Starting January 15 from 4:30-5:30 and running 11 weeks, I'm teaching a hydroponic gardening series at the Warsaw Community Public Library.

The hands-on series will cover growing indoors on hydroponic systems. You'll plant seeds, watch them grow, and enjoy eating what you've grown. Twice during the series, Alison Weeks, Live Well Kosciusko, will share tips on preparing what we've grown.

The series is free, but registration is required and limited, so sign up today here https://warsaw.librarycalendar.com/event/tower-garden-training-2063
