Summary

Board members reviewed Middletown Connect's end-of-year report and plans to expand grassroots health screenings and events across neighborhoods and schools, focusing on high-attendance venues to increase screening numbers.

Board members heard a report on Middletown Connect's community outreach and discussed plans to broaden neighborhood engagement and place screening services at high-attendance events. The group said the program will continue working with schools (Wildwood, Mayfield, Rosa Parks, Creekview) and explore placing health resources at community events such as youth football days to reach families where they already gather.

Speakers framed the program as grassroots advocacy for healthier neighborhoods and discussed targets for screening counts (for example, combining screening locations across events to accumulate higher year-end totals). The board encouraged continued partnership between the health department and Middletown Connect and asked staff to coordinate future event planning and reporting.
