Gilbert OLD BUSINESS AND INFORMATIONAL ITEMS 1. Jefferson County Public Health (JCPH) Report Staff Member Martine welcomed Commissioner Dudley-Nollette to the Board, representing District 1. They also thanked Member Kolff for offering to represent the Board of Health at the Behavioral Health Advisory Committee (BHAC) and reminded the Board that an alternate will need to be appointed. They mentioned that the State Department of Health is in financial flux, due to state budget shortfalls and changes in federal and state administrations. This may impact health funding and services across the governmental public health system. Member Eisenhour informed that she has taken on the liaison role with state government and will regularly be attending meetings in Olympia. Member Martine concluded with an announcement that JCPH published its first Environmental and Climate and Health Impact Report (community health assessment) with a correlated data dashboard, available on the County website. 2. Jefferson Healthcare Report Member Kolff attended a meeting of the Washington State Hospital Association, discussing priorities and possible impacts of government action. Jefferson Healthcare is one of the rare hospitals that operates profitably. The hospital renovation and expansion is on track, both time and budget -wise, anticipating a July opening. PUBLIC COMMENT Chair Grace paused Old Business in order to allow comment from a member of the public. Commenter made a statement concerning the costliness and scarcity of eggs, and questioned overreaction (declaration of emergency in California) to avian influenza when considering the rarity of human infection. OLD BUSINESS AND INFORMATIONAL ITEMS (continued) 3. Infectious Diseases Update Dr. Berry gave an update on current infectious diseases of note. There is currently a high rate of influenza cases, though there are early signs of a downturn. Vaccination, and masking when in indoor, crowded spaces, is recommended; stay home when ill. Low rates of COVID have been seen. RSV has had a mild year, largely due to good uptake of the RSV vaccine; there is a good RSV vaccine, recommended for elderly, infants and pregnant people. There is good news concerning Avian flu; it remains largely an animal (not human) ailment. Human infection results from close, unsafe contact with animals; wear gloves and an N95 mask if caring for sick poultry, cattle, or wildlife. There are no current poultry outbreaks in Clallam or Jefferson Counties. Protect poultry flocks by reducing contact with wild birds. Monthly dairy testing has found no avian flu in cows in the state of Washington. The declaration of emergency in California is largely an economic issue, due to devastation of the dairy industry. There have been cases of avian flu crossing over into cats, due to eating wild birds or raw meat. Avoiding raw food and keeping cats indoors or to limited outdoor areas is recommended. NEW BUSINESS 1. Introduction of Commissioner Heather Dudley-Nollette to the Board of Health Staff member Martine welcomed new Board Member Dudley-Nollette to the Board of Health, and to the Board of County Commissioners, and looked forward to introducing her to the work of JCPH.
