Committee praises public-health outreach: screenings, camps and farmers market cards
Summary
Committee members praised Cherokee Nation public-health staff for providing back-to-school screenings, sports camps, and Farmers Market cards for elders (cards must be used by end of October). Officials encouraged coordination with schools for athlete physicals and outreach clinics.
Committee members used the Health Services and Public Health reports to highlight recent outreach efforts. The chair and councilors thanked staff for participation at Head Start Roundup events and back-to-school bashes where the public-health teams offered well-child checkups, hearing and vision screens, dental screens and vaccinations.
Lisa Pivick said the department continues its back-to-school events and sports camps and that staff can coordinate school-based clinics on request. Councilor Lisa Hall praised distribution of Farmers Market cards to elders and asked about deadlines; Pivick said those cards must be used by the end of October. Committee members also noted upcoming community runs sponsored by the health department.
