County DOH looks to expand Hep C outreach
NORWICH – Hoping to thwart a rising number of Hepatitis C cases in Chenango County, the county’s department of health is looking to expand education and outreach for the communicable disease.
The county’s been awarded $12,000 from the NYS Department of Health for excellent performance in communicable disease investigation. County health officials may use that money for any purpose related to communicable diseases.
On Tuesday, Chenango DOH Director Marc Flindt notified the county’s committee on health and human services about the award.
If county leaders accept the money, Flindt proposes using $6,000 to contract with Chenango Health Network, working closely with the Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition, for Hep C outreach.
“Hepatitis C is initially what prompted the health department to look into why we were seeing increased Hepatitis C rates in the county,” Flindt said. “Of course, we trace that to the heroin epidemic.”
The remaining $6,000 of the DOH award would be used to purchase fireproof file cabinets for patient records at the department of public health.
