in Community Health, including our most recent Influenza Outreach program, where we took our Influenza Immunization Program “on the road” around the county to vaccinate those, especially the underserved, who would benefit the most. We have an active Public Health Priorities Committee, which makes collective decisions and recommendations for policy change. We leverage collective power to put ideas into action. Our successful Rockland Codes Initiative (RCI) in our Housing Program has allowed for enforcement of violations of crowded and unsafe conditions, which have typically affected our minority and immigrant populations. Additionally, our Healthy Neighborhood program distributed hundreds of free Carbon Monoxide and Smoke Detectors to low to moderate income families and seniors. Through forward-thinking, public outreach programs like these we are working to improve everyone’s access to living a healthy lifestyle.

Our water, food, camp, and mosquito programs ensure the public health and safety of our community. Our Disease Prevention and Control Center investigates disease outbreaks and provides diagnoses, treatment and community control of tuberculosis. We continue to emphasize the prevention of chronic disease along with early and sustained treatment of this major negative influence on the health of our community. Prevention is a key indicator of quality. There is evidence that increasing the use of preventive services results in fewer people suffering from preventable diseases. Many are treated at earlier stages. It is also cost-effective. For every dollar spent on prevention, there is a $6.00 return on investment. Our paradigm at the Rockland County Department of Health includes highvalue, cost-effective preventive care with efficient resource utilization. This also leads to more effectual use of the dollars spent on health care. Along with our partners, we have accomplished a great deal, but we have even more to do as we pursue our mission to protect and promote optimal health for all residents of Rockland County. This snapshot of our community’s health provides us with an opportunity to further improve the health of our community. Our aim is to motivate our population, so they can be the healthiest, not only in New York State, but in the nation.
