NYS Commissioner of Health visits Chenango County
NORWICH – New York State Commissioner of Health Dr. Richard Daines met with local health officials and community partners on Tuesday for an informal tour of the city and a series of presentations in recognition of National Public Health Week.
Approximately 50 public health officials and community partners gathered at the Chenango County Office Building to meet with the commissioner and members of his staff, and several offered informational presentations on community health programs, services and successes. The common theme throughout the presentations, and commented on by Daines, was the sense of partnership and cooperation among all of the groups involved.
“In all of the years I’ve been here, that cooperation has been really tremendous, and it’s a strong point in Chenango County and the health care community,” said Chenango County Health Department Director Marcas Flindt, who called the commissioner’s visit “a historic event.”
“I certainly appreciate him coming to Chenango County to meet with the public health staff and our community partners. In the months and years ahead, as state and county budgets become tighter, we can accomplish so much more together than we can separately.”
Chenango County Department of Public Health Medical Director Dr. Scott Cohen said that he’d “never seen so many of the groups we work with all together.”
The commissioner, prior to the gathering, visited with local health officials and school administrators at the high school’s School Based Health Center and gymnasium, following which he examined the Cornell Cooperative Extension community garden and Chenango Greenway Conservatory trail head.
“The beauty of the homes, churches, the courthouse and the preserved architecture in this community is truly remarkable,” said Daines, an admitted history and architecture buff. “It’s obvious that there’s a lot of community pride.”
Sponsored by the American Public Health Association, National Public Health Week runs from April 5-11 and focuses on the education of public health officials, policy-makers and the general public concerning the importance of public health, according to the association, which can be reached at www.apha.org. The theme of this year’s National Public Health Week is “A Healthier America: One Community at a Time.”
