I have seen some life expectancy data by census tract, some of which is surprising. I’d love to map the fast food restaurants by census tract and see if there is any correlation with life expectancy! Anyone else interested?
-
I saw it is going to be next to Pizza Hut and across from Liberty Liquors.

Worksite Wellness 6 years agoThis past summer and fall the ACHD Wellness Committee encouraged a different employee each week to bring in fruits and herbs to infuse a large container of water each Wednesday.

School Health Nursing 6 years agoI am so impressed to see the work of the school nurses! Amazing to look at the data visualization tool, and overlay these measures: # medical visits per month versus # students returning to class after the medical visit. And kudos to elementary nurses, who appear to have highest volumes of these types of visits .

STD’s and STI’s: What’s going on down there? 6 years agoI noticed in your uploaded files that we are seeing increases in cases of chlamydia and gonorrhea in Allegany County. Have you noticed any increase in the number of people seeking to be tested? In your experience, what % of people seeking to be tested are having symptoms of disease, and what % is not having any symptoms at all, but are just concerned?
-
Great questions! I do not believe there has been an increase in any specific population seeking testing. In my experience, about half of the individuals that present to clinic for a routine screening and test positive for chlamydia and/or gonorrhea are not having symptoms.
