Last month Commissioner Tootie Smith was honored by the Brain Injury Alliance of Oregon with its Advocacy Award for her help in the passage of SB 348 in 2009 - “Max's Law” - regarding sports concussions. Max’s Law requires each school district to ensure that coaches receive annual training to learn how to recognize the symptoms of a concussion and how to seek proper medical treatment for a person suspected of having a concussion.

This legislation is the first of its kind in Oregon and around the country other states are following and enacting similar laws to protect student athletes.

Public Health Week April 1-4, 2013

Research shows that investing in public health and prevention saves lives and saves money. The role of the Public Health Division is to improve the health of residents by working to create environments for people to be healthy. This week (April 1 – 4), is Public Health Week. As part of Public Health Week, we’d like to let you know how Clackamas County’s Public Health Division helps our community every day.

- Public Health Nurses
Public Health Nurses made 910 home visits to 307 families in Clackamas County in 2012. These nurses provide medical care, help expecting moms prepare for their babies and stay healthy during their pregnancy, assist moms after birth, and monitor babies’ growth and development. Public Health Nurses also coordinate care with medical providers for infants and children with special health care needs.

- Nutrition and Health Screening Program for Women, Infants & Children
The WIC Program served 4,194 families in 2012 by providing nutrition education, referrals, and vouchers to purchase nutritious foods. Over $4,000,000 WIC dollars were spent at local retailers and $67,664 went to local farmers through farmers markets and roadside stands.
