Additional meetings will be held in March, April, and May. B. Bloomington Public Health (BPH) Update Bonnie Paulsen, Lisa Brodsky, Bloomington Public Health i. Emergency Preparedness/Ebola See PowerPoint handout of the slides. Mass dispensing drill – targeting those that cannot come to mass distribution center by using ‘Closed Points of Distribution’, like Sr. Living Facilities. Ebola – Worldwide: total of 13,000 cases/5,000 deaths. Symptoms are similar to influenza except for abnormal bleeding. It is spread by direct contact with bodily fluid. It cannot be spread unless symptomatic. No confirmed cases of Ebola in Minnesota. ii. Bloomington Update Flu shots are not being given at the Edina schools this year but are being given at the Senior Center and other locations. This information is communicated via the website, Facebook and Twitter. Vaccinations are free to those without health insurance. Insurance is billed for those that have it. There are 4 types of vaccines offered. The pneumonia shot is offered at the Senior Centers. Sage Clinic is located in Edina (near Fairview) and is open to people outside of BER (Bloomington, Edina, Richfield) but the majority of clients come from BER. Vulnerable adults – most referrals come from the police and the sanitarians. BER have the highest breast feeding initiative rating. 88% are still breastfeeding at 3 months compared to the state average of 76%. BPH is preparing to go through the accreditation process. Edina can also be accredited (working with Staff Liaison Brown). While accreditation is voluntary at this time, it may be beneficial to secure future funding. A focus of BPH is to bring funding back to drug/alcohol education. If you know of grant opportunities, please refer them to BPH. C. Edina Vision Process Discussion Member Cozad expressed that she liked how demographics were represented and that the process will provide influence over what Edina’s future will look like. Member Stegner noted that the eastern part of the city is experiencing lots of changes which can appeal to all kinds of people. Healthy people should be key vision for the future.

Communications - The modifications to the website are a significant improvement, but the CHC discussed including more content. Notable things could include the annual work plan.
