We couldn't finish this week without saying one final THANK YOU to our donors and volunteers who made our DENTAL HEALTH WEEK in the Jamaican Blue Mountains a success! We are humbled, inspired, and most importantly GRATEFUL for your efforts to support the residents of this community. After MPH employees volunteered their time and resources to complete the community health assessment for this community ?? https://buff.ly/4hPFw9c ?? we discovered that oral health is a priority health need. With the help of our incredible donors and volunteers, we were able to operate a primary dental care clinic in Mavis Bank for a week and share educational resources and dental hygiene supplies to community residents throughout the region. This included outreach to local schools! Thank you to the public health super heroes who dedicated their time to this initiative! Want to learn more?

You’re looking at the coach of Disease Detectives (epidemiology/public health) for the Science Olympiad team at West Liberty Salem School! ?? ?? Two of my kids are on the Science Olympiad team and they love it (partly because they go to an all-day tournament with their friends and are given a lot of independence while at the tournament! ?? ). The science teacher at the school asked if I would coach Disease Detectives and I of course said yes! (if you’re short on time, skip to the end of this post where I ask for some ideas. I really need them!) ? While preparing for my first weekly session with them, it really struck me how important this is to me and aligns with my values of supporting the next generation of public health professionals. I know my story is not unique in that when I was in middle and high school, I didn’t even know that going into public health was an option. I thought that if you wanted to work in health, you had to become a nurse, doctor, or some other patient-care professional. It wasn’t until after undergrad that I found the field of public health when I was an HIV-prevention health educator in NYC. Then I went to graduate school and the rest is history! However, if I had known about public health early on…it would’ve changed the trajectory of my career path, or at least led to me starting my public health career a lot earlier (and not changing my major over five times! ??♀?). Anyway, I’m just so excited about this opportunity to teach youth about the field of public health! ? Now I need some help: -Ideas to teach the content of epidemiology and make it fun for the class. Yesterday (my first class) I showed a short video about John Snow, did a detective activity around how he found the water pump that was contaminated with cholera, and then made some flashcards on some vocab that they need to learn. Any other ideas? -I want to take them on at least one field trip that is public health focused. Any juicy ideas that kids would enjoy?

I love the work we do here at Moxley Public Health but we mostly love our clients…like Kings County in CA! The work that we do takes a while to properly carry out so we get to know our clients pretty well. The people at Kings County are absolutely wonderful and I enjoyed developing the working relationship together. Congratulations Kings County!

Sending out a huge congratulations to our clients in Kings County, California who recently completed their CHA/CHIP cycle with the release of their 2024-2028 Community Health Improvement Plan ?? https://buff.ly/3ULvKLw We LOVED working on this deliverable and were so humbled by this community's energy to take action to improve health outcomes. Check out the full document to see the health disparities we identified together and specific strategies to address them. See more of our work samples at https://buff.ly/3HeglvU ?

See below to read and hear about Jesse James Clarke pleading to the Ministry of Health in Jamaica for better dental health services and healthcare at rural clinics. He uses Mavis Bank Health Centre as an example just a few days after we had lunch with him and told him everything that was going on there. I’m so excited that he is giving a spotlight to both Mavis Bank Health Centre, the community it serves and this issue in Jamaica. Thank you, Mr. Clarke!
