Physician Director’s ReportThe fiscal year began July 1, 2014 anticipating the retirement of Dr. Harry Tweel,

physician director for the previous 10 years. Accreditation efforts had started, the health department was beginning to measure its media presence and was doing an inventory of its employee culture. Organizational transition was underway. The “P-card” was coming into widespread use. The health department was in sound financial condition. Lacrosse encephalitis was discovered in Cabell County mosquitoes, the first indication of its presence in the county. Family planning services were increasing after hiring a Nurse Practitioner for the clinic. TB was on the decline. Hepatitis B and C were on the increase. Healthy food choices were being promoted and classes in chronic disease management were being organized in Huntington. The health department was doing its job, and doing it well.

As fall approached, auditors presented the health department with its first “clean” audit, affirming changes that had been made in financial management. Through the fall, accreditation efforts intensified, organizational culture was assessed and leadership adjusted to the findings. The health department was adding data-driven decision making to an already strong experience base. Organizational transition was accelerating. Chronic disease classes started, educating community members about living with and managing diabetes. A successful flu vaccination drive was held. Ebola response was developed and training held. While the search continued for a full time physician director, Dr. Kevin McCann became acting physician director, in addition to his duties as part time physician director in Wayne County. Tim Hazelett, administrator, ably assumed the burden of daily leadership while the Board of Health actively adjusted the physician director recruitment effort. Foreseeing future funding challenges, the board directed the exploration of alternative funding sources.

Winter saw further organizational development. The environmental services department delivered a program to the board and attending staff defining its scope of work and duties. Pay periods shifted from twice a month to biweekly. A syphilis outbreak was being characterized and managed. A new physician director was identified and the hiring process begun. The Huntington Mayor’s Office of Drug Control Policy was educating public groups about the epidemic of heroin use, associated crime, overdose and death. Grass roots organizers were also meeting with a huge outpouring of public support for interventions to address the many issues associated. The health department attended multiple meetings and was enlisted to intervene in the growing Hepatitis B and C problems by exploring a syringe exchange program, never before done in West Virginia. The strength of the organization was shown by its ability to not only continue its duties in providing essential services, but to undertake and develop a ground breaking intervention for an emerging public health crisis, and to do this in the absence of a full time physician director.

The legislative session dominated attention early in the spring of 2015 with threats to public health in the form of attempts to allow the sale of raw milk and to reverse clean air

regulations by allowing smoking in more public spaces. Both of these efforts were defeated. Some Health Department staff were certified as chronic disease education specialists, able to provide certified classes in disease management and train others to do likewise. IV drug abuse related disease continued to increase as regional and national data were being published supporting local findings. Dr. Michael Kilkenny assumed the physician director’s position on May 1, 2015. His leadership presence was able to catalyze processes already in process so that the timeline to apply for accreditation in December 2016 was moved forward one year to 2015. Plans for a syringe exchange developed into a harm reduction program with partner agencies capable of providing education, testing, treatment, counselling, and referral services as well as clean syringes. All the while, the core work of the health department continued.

In all, the year has been a strong one for the Cabell-Huntington Health Department. The board of health challenges, questions, suggests, advises, supports and strengthens the health department as measured in the contents of the meeting minutes and lists of attendees and guests. The organizational transformation has been phenomenal, measured by volumes of documents and felt in the tone of meetings. From our presence in the offices of our partners to our measurable presence in the media, we are engaging our community. Stronger public health is the outcome of these efforts. Delivery of essential services is strengthened by these efforts. Innovative approaches to new challenges are developed by these efforts. Results are measured by these efforts. Moving forward, we will celebrate our successes and we will learn from our failures. We will adapt and innovate. Sometimes we will follow, and sometimes we will lead, but always for the better health of the citizens of Cabell County and Huntington, West Virginia.

Michael E. Kilkenny, MD, MS, Physician Director.

Narrative

Significant changes have occurred at the Cabell-Huntington Health Department in 2015. Two areas stand out when speaking of these changes, accountability and empowerment. We have put a high level of emphasis on the programmatic model and allowed the department directors to own their respective division. The Board of Health reports have adapted to increase the outputs of the organization. The Cabell-Huntington Health Department developed the accreditation readiness strategy for applying for accreditation in late 2015. I am pleased with the changes this organization has implemented and the engagement from the staff. A change in leadership occurred in May, 2015. This commonly causes an organization to become conservative in approach and slow progress. The changes that occurred and the addition of Dr. Kilkenny has made this a stronger organziation. The integration of Dr. Michael Kilkenny in May of 2015 was seamless and efficient. The path of the organzitional model continued with no interruption of work.

We gained a lot of momentum in 2015. We have assessed our gaps, developed leaders and experts in the organization and had a significant impact on our community. The objective is simple. We must continue to increase our value through strategic planning, strengthening

Page 12: Cabell-Huntington Health Department | 703 7th Ave ...€¦ · Web viewFood borne illness trainings – All sanitarians were trained on the most current techniques for investigating

12

partnerships and imroving the public health of Cabell County. We must focus on our vision of “healthy people living and working in a healthy community”.

As the Board of Health, I certainly hope you have been able to see and feel the transformation this organization has made in 2015. The energy and passion for public health is evident on a daily basis. The staff has adapted and accepted the challenges during this year of change. The resiliency and effectiveness displayed shows our potential, abilities and our effectiveness. We feel continued growth will occur over the next few years. I want to commend the Cabell-Huntington Board of Health for your support, engagement and being outstanding members our team. I am looking forward to 2016!

For 2014-15, total immunizations decreased due to a decline in flu vaccines given. Non-flu immunizations increased by over 6%. The number of state supplied influenza vaccine doses was 92% less than the previous year.

In 2014-15 we saw a 12% increase in Family Planning patients. While the number of patients increased, the number of individual services provided were approximately 4% less. This appears to be due to more women receiving Long Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC). We distributed more condoms and had fewer positive pregnancy tests than the previous year.

2014-15 saw a significant decrease in the number of TB case contacts investigated. Due to a shortage of Tubersol in 2013-14, risk assessments were conducted to determine those at high risk for tuberculosis. Due to the fewer number of TB contacts investigated we also saw a significant decrease in the number of people who needed to be treated for active or latent tuberculosis disease.

ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH / THREAT PREPAREDNESS FY 2015 REPORT

Bed Bugs – A great deal of staff time was spent trying to abate bed bug complaints. No one is spared from these insects. We also dealt with issues of over treating with pesticides where individuals were sickened by the sprays.

Subdivision issues – This year long project of getting gallons of sewage out of the creek finally has been corrected with the help of the Federal Bankruptcy Court.

Mosquito trapping – Staff trapped and identified over 13,000 adult mosquitos. We had mosquitoes that tested positive for West Nile Virus and for the first time, Lacrosse Virus.

Public Health Students – we had 5 students from the Public Health Program at Marshall University work with our staff on several different projects over the past year.

Food Standardizations – All sanitarians were standardized in Food service inspections for the first time. We are all performing inspections in a consistent manner.

Food borne illness trainings – All sanitarians were trained on the most current techniques for investigating food borne illnesses.

Risk based inspections – The sanitarians have begun inspection food service operations, using a new philosophy; keying in on those issues that create food borne illnesses.

Sewage Treatment Issues – A community is served by a failing community sewage system. The Public Service Commission and the Department of Environmental Protection have turned this issue to the CHHD for completion.
