The 2009 Community Assessment is Complete

The Jefferson County Health Department has recently completed the 2009 Community Assessment of the health of Jefferson County residents. This report includes data from a variety of sources such as the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Social Services, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and other state and local partners. Additionally, a questionnaire was developed to see what Jefferson County residents felt were the major risk factors and health issues in the county.

The information in this report will be used for future planning for the Jefferson County Health Department. It will also be shared with other agencies within the county and can be used as a resource for writing grants and program proposals.

Tick-Borne Disease Awareness:
Tick bites are usually painless, the ticks are tiny, and consequently many people are unaware they have been bitten.
To protect yourself this summer when enjoying the great outdoors follow these simple tips to avoid tick bites:
Wear light colored clothing, tuck pants into socks when in the woods, long loose hair should be covered, and after coming in from outside put clothing in dryer on high heat to kill any stray ticks.
For more helpful tips please Click Here for the Centers for Disease Control website.
