Aprilis Child Abuse Prevention Month. A blue pinwheel is a symbol of hope for a child’s future. Be on the lookout for our blue pinwheel garden to help raise awareness. One pinwheel will represent one reported case in Humboldt County.

Male offenders who abuse girls have an average of 52 victims. Those that abuse boys have an average of 105 victims.

H p g y p

Teach your child body safety from 25 years old

Talk to other families about the importance of teaching their children body safety

Ask your child’s school if they teach body safety

Stay alert to any warning signs that a child you know may be being abused

Believe a child when they disclose abuse

Understanding child development helps parents respond appropriately to a child’s behavior supporting physical, cognitive, language, social, and emotional well-being.

Paula Myers, our Family Support worker with the HOPES program is dedicated to providing families this support to prevent abuse from happening.

measles r u b e o l a

Measles is a highly contagious respiratory virus that causes febrile rash illness. Measles has been eliminated (no sustained circulation) in the United States for decades. However, there can still be measles cases, as it is easily imported by unvaccinated travelers and can spread in under-immunized communities.

disease course

The incubation period is typically 11–12 days from exposure to measles virus until the first symptoms appear (prodromal symptoms) A rash follows the prodromal symptoms 2–4 days later and usually lasts 5–6 days.

Measles is infectious 4 days before and 4 days after rash onset.

symptoms

Prodromal: Fever, cough, coryza, or conjunctivitis. Koplik spots (tiny white spots inside the mouth) may also appear 2–3 days after symptoms first appear

Rash: A maculopapular rash (rash of both flat and raised skin lesions) begins on the head and face and then spreads downward to the neck, trunk, arms, legs, and feet. The spots may become joined together as they spread from the head to the body

Fever may spike to more than 104° F when rash appears

complications

Most common complications: Diarrhea and otitis media

Most severe complications: Pneumonia, encephalitis, and death. Patients may require hospitalization.

Children younger than 5, adults older than 20, pregnant women, and immunocompromised persons are at most risk of serious complications

what to do if you have a suspected case

1 Immediately mask and isolate the patient in a room with a closed door (negative pressure room if available) Follow standard and airborne precautions.

2 Only allow health care workers with presumptive evidence of measles immunity* to attend the patient; they must use N-95 masks.

3. Evaluate the patient and order measles confirmatory testing (collect a throat or nasopharyngeal swab for RT-PCR and serum for IgM measles testing).

4. Contact infection control if available at your facility.

5. Immediately report this suspected case to your local and/or state health department.

HUMBOLDT COUNTY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL FOUNDATION

Are you looking to help out your fellow employees in times of need and hardship? This is an easy way to help out those people in need. The REACH Program has granted over $6,000 in employee aid over the last 5 years, but we cannot do that without your help.

What is REACH and how does it work?

The REACH Program is a financial assistance program sponsored by the HCMH Foundation. The purpose of the REACH Program is to make funds available to HCMH employees in times of unusual need

To make it work, we ask employees to consider a small gift (suggested amount $2/pay period or $52/year) which is placed into a fund, strictly for employee aid

Confidential applications will be accepted from eligible employees (full or part-time employees who have been employed for at least 12 months) who find themselves in unexpected circumstances and in need of financial assistance A committee reviews the applications for appropriateness of need and grants are made based on that information

Criteria for application and approval

Donations are purely voluntary and making, or not making, a contribution does not affect one’s chances of receiving a grant

Requests to the REACH Program may be submitted as the situation or need warrants Maximum allowable award is $500 with a lifetime cap at $5,000

Criteria considered in evaluating includes:

Unexpected occurrence or specific situation that significantly impacts the personal life of the employee, as well as seriously affecting the ability of the employee to work effectively

Health problems, which result in a depletion of personal PTO and excessive medical bills

Loss of family income

An occurrence that could have been anticipated or avoided by good advance planning or appropriate money management.

Frequency of application.

How are funds distributed?

The HCMH Foundation will make payments directly to the appropriate provider of service, not to the applicant

For example, if help was needed by paying the utility bill the Foundation would write a check directly to the utility company.

How can I contribute?

Contributions can be made in a number of ways:

A one-time check or cash

$2 (suggested) per pay period payroll deduction

One-time payroll deduction gift

Questions - reach out to Foundation Dir. or HR

This program is funded by employee donations and its intended use is for employees who find themselves in an emergency situation that could not have been anticipated or avoided by good advance planning or appropriate monetary planning.

I wish to participate by contributing:

$ through payroll deduction (ONE-TIME)

$ per pay period for one year (suggested $2/pay period)

$ one-time check or cash Make checks payable to: HCMH Foundation
