South Central Public Health District

South Central Public Health District hosted county commissioners and many of your Magic Valley legislators yesterday.

From environmental health and public health to health education and communicable disease control, the SCPHD offers our communities essential public health services.
Some of those services include restaurant, public pool, septic system, and day care inspections. They also offer a Parents as Teachers program for those needing a hand in how to better parent.

Senator Brackett was recognized for his service and commitment to Public Health. Congratulations Senator Brackett.

Idaho Governor Brad Little appointed an Opioid and Substance Abuse Advisory Group in August of this year, and Embrace Life Recovery Center will serve as a catalyst and solution to fulfill our obligation to serving our communities and families affected by addiction. The growing misuse of opioids and alcohol is taking lives and destroying families. There were 248 stated drug overdose deaths in Idaho last year, 125 of those were reported opioid, that is 248 too many.

Congratulations Stephanie Ford on your vision and tenacity. Embrace Life Recovery Center is a welcome, needed addition to our community.

As the conversation around workforce development evolves, childcare and early childhood education continues to be part of that narrative.

While I was fortunate to be stay-at-home mom for the most part, I like that many Idaho businesses are looking at providing opportunities to families/parents.

BSU sponsored Value-Based Health Care Forum today. The focus was how to make the move to a value-based system from the current fee-for-service system. Our rural communities across Idaho need affordable and accessible health care. Talk around telehealth/telemedicine/virtual health addressed some of the access challenges.
