Improving childhood
health is local
priority, health advisory council says
Childhood health is the
overriding health priority in Clark County, reports
Joan Caley, chair of the
Clark County Public Health Advisory Council.
The council’s
recommendations guide the county Health Department’s activities
through the year.
Caley says, “While other
issues were also important to us, this one rose to the top.
Concerns voiced by the council are immunizations, secondhand
smoke exposure, growth and development, injury prevention and
other preventive services.”
Other concerns expressed
by the council include access to critical public health
services, public health services at schools, child care center
and adult care facilities, and zoonotic diseases (diseases that
come from animals).
