Working for a Healthy Community: A Message from the Health Director
Summer is just around the corner and with it are many opportunities to be outdoors. Grab a picnic and enjoy the beautiful Stratford beaches. Protect yourself and your loved ones--use sunscreen, practice safe food handling techniques and towel vigorously after taking a dip in the sound to avoid “swimmer’s itch” —for more tips and information click on our "Topics A-Z" button above.
And don't forget that hurricane season is just around the corner! We survived Tropical Storm Irene last summer...are you and your family ready for this season's potential storms? Do you have a go-bag? Are you entered into the Town's electronic notification system with your cell or home numbers so that you can be notified of emergency situations? The federal website www.ready.gov is a fabulous resource to help you prepare. Join us and the Stratford-Trumbull-Monroe Medical Reserve Corps volunteers at the Main Street Festival (June 2, 2012 ) to learn more about how you can be better prepared.
As always, our dedicated staff of professionals strive to address your health and environmental concerns and issues. Our commitment to provide comprehensive public health services to residents of the Town of Stratford include: restaurant inspections, school-based health and dental services, beach inspections, emergency preparedness planning, flu clinics, and asthma education—just to name a few of the programs we offer.
We have many resources available to the public and welcome your questions about our services. Visit our website or check us out on Face Book-we'd love to hear from you on how we can do our job better!
In Health,
Andrea L. Boissevain, MPH
