Yeah, thanks. >> Okay, so um now that everybody's in, um do I have anybody for citizen participation? I don't see anybody raising their hand. Just making sure. Give me a minute. Okay. I don't see anybody raising their hand for citizen participation. Okay. So, the next thing on our agenda is the lanterns at Warren Woods um for their um pool lifeguard permit. Raj, can you take us through that? So chief I guess Mr. Richard is here from lanterns you know he's one of the board members if I'm

Um I think Becca you're doing this is that >> no uh chief that's Karina you know so she >> Karina okay y >> yeah y >> uh she's a coordinator for the shared services you know we we have uh those grants in Hudson yeah and we are doing an event uh in Ashland uh it's called a community baby shower Ashland is going to be the third community uh scheduled at the corner spot on June 30th in the evening you know so and she'll walk us through you know >> okay yours Thank you. I'm just going to share my screen. Um if I can see I was just going to go through a little bit

005of who we are. So it just says introduction. Um and then um we're definitely going to talk about the community baby shower that will be happening in Ashlin. Um so this is Metro West Shared Public Health Services. Ashlin has been part of it since uh the beginning of 2021. Um we are composed of nine communities. I think the town of NIC is a little wed out at the bottom, but um we are um a weirdly shaped figure here in Metro West. Uh but definitely uh the all these towns have worked together in various programs or various grants. Um and this is uh the public health excellence grant uh given by the state. Um so a little bit about who what we're doing. Um, so again, we was established back in 2021 during the CO 19.

006Um, and it's really the spirit of the grant is to really um, help municipalities and the health departments increase their capacities. And we'll go over how we're doing that. Um, and this is coming from our report for FY25. We're ending our FY26 at the end of June. And so we will put that new report out and share with Raj who I'm sure will share it with you guys as well. Um this is our team. It's very small right now. Uh we were a little larger. Um I am the shared services coordinator. I am managing the grants and also applying for new grants or looking at new initiatives and programming that we can do to help our Metro West um health departments. We have uh Laney who is our regional community health worker. Uh we have

007Puja who is our epidemiologist um who also helps uh all our nurses um with Maven which is our disease surveillance. Uh she can cover. So if your nurse Ann is sick or she's going on vacation um Raj is always able to tap into Puja and Puja can take over um our maven. Well your maven. And then we have Tita who is our regional health communication specialist um and also is a helps me run the U maternal initiative which is new um and we'll go over it a little bit. And then we have two openings right now. We have a part-time um health inspector. Um, a lot of times our health inspectors are regional who uh are able to help with food establishment inspections, pools, just help out with some of the the daily tasks that

008sometimes can can clog our health departments, too. Um, so they're there and then we have a part-time uh nurse um and that can be utilized for vaccine clinics. Um they can also cover Maven um and also run additional programming like uh blood pressure clinics etc. But those two are openings right now and we're um going to start interviewing the next few weeks. Um this is our mission and vision. Um this was a collaborative effort. um back I believe three summers ago or two summers ago uh all nine health directors and uh myself we got together and really created a strategic plan and where we were going in the next five years. Um and this is how and this vision and mission came from that uh meeting. Um and this strategic plan has helped us kind

009of carve a map. um every year I have to complete a work plan with the state and I tend to match it with our strategic plan. So we are following um kind of the wishes of our health departments and and helping them achieve um the health of the the community that they serve. Um again this is our strategic plan. Um, you know, our base is always going to be our mission and um on top is our our our vision and then the pillars that make us are the five uh things that our health directors wanted us to look at as our priorities. Um, in the last year and a half, all health departments have been um going through a review process with the state um and looked at like what they do well and what

010um is missing. Um and I think all our departments um that we are under um scored really well um and that was exciting. But one thing that looked like uh we could boost or help was our maternal health. And that's kind of how our initiative started is looking at some of the things that you guys are already doing um but how can we enhance it um and in some areas what was missing and how can we fill that gap. Um this is some of the services that our community health worker can do. Um and that's Laneany. Um she's uh t the three top things that she was able to help people with was um housing um health insurance and uh food support looking at how to apply for um SNAP wick um food pantry referrals.

011Um but she also helped navigate the health insurance world which is so complicated. um and she's able to uh enroll folks in Mass Health. Uh this is some of our nursing services. So, we did have a nurse um part of our team um and they're always great at doing outreach. Again, they do surveillance um and um they always were available to help at your regional vaccine clinic at your health department that Raj and Anne run. These are some of the inspections that we did in FY25. Again, the numbers are going to look different this year since we lost our regional health inspector. Uh, but Ashlin represented 6% of those inspections. Um, and you can see what Casey, who was our inspector, was doing. And then again, health communications is Tita and she is always great

012at creating flyers or creating information uh that is visually pleasing uh and translated for the community and to ensure that everyone is aware of some of the things that are happening whether it's seasonal or just on a daily life. Um we launched our tick campaign um and we were able to provide tick kits to all our health departments. Um maybe we'll be able to do that again. Um but um that was a really great success as well. And then Pua is our EPI who runs data, loves data um and it updates our regional data board um that we have on our website. Um she covers Maven. Um she helps supports me a lot when we're applying for grants and that's how we got our maternity grant which is additional to the public health grant. uh

013she helped me apply for it with h giving me some research uh and data points for that grant. And then we also do community outreach. Um we're always happy to partner with all our health departments um and table. We always provide a lot of information and some preventative giveaways to people as well um and educate them at the spot. Um all our staff are bilingual. Um, I myself speak Spanish. Delita speaks Portuguese and then um, Laney also speaks Portuguese as well um, in some Spanish. And then here is the the the part that we've enjoyed is our um, happy um, healthy um, baby hap well healthy parent happy baby which is our maternal health initiative. Um, this is new. Um, we just entered our second year. Uh, last year was our pilot. We applied for

014a Metro West Health Foundation grant and we were very lucky to have received it. Um and then we got we received it again this year. Um so we're entering our second year. We were find a few things that that worked. Um and those that didn't work, we kind of moved on and looked at what else we can do. Um and that some of the components that we have are free birthing classes. Um this is something that we saw as a gap in general Metro West. A lot of birthing classes are can be reimbursed by health insurance, but you have to be out of pocket. Um, and that can be a hardship for families. Um, and I don't know, I I'm a mother, so I know how expensive these kids can be. So, giving people a

015heads up on free birthing classes. Not only are they free, but they're also in native languages. So, we've had it in Portuguese, Spanish, and in English. and we've been sprinkling them around the region um throughout the that the last two years. Um we also give everyone a baby care package um and we'll go over a little bit of what that looks like and what is it. We also have um some postpartum support groups. We've been running our postpartum support group via Zoom um for the last year and a half. Uh and that one is virtual in Portuguese and in English. And then just this summer, we launched our walking group. Um it's a wellness walking group for mothers uh with a um counselor um who can help them at the spa as they're getting a

016walking outside and creating community. And that meets every Monday uh starting yesterday um in Framingham. And all these things are free. And then we're always looking to connect uh families to all the wonderful resources in Metro West um that you have available and then increasing awareness on maternal health whether it's uh the benefits of breastfeeding um how to continue breastfeeding when you return to work etc and other things that you have to be aware once you enter the world of being a parent. Um this is a little bit more of our virtual support groups here. Um again they're all free. uh folks can register. Um it's really designed for um parents of zero to six months just because those first six months are so different um and unique. And then our child birth classes here

017just quickly just what it looks like. Um we've had a couple uh sessions in English and in Portuguese as well in Spanish. Um, for general part, our Portuguese classes tend to be the the most popular. Uh, they're doula run. Um, and um, we feed all our participants who are there because it's a long day. It's usually like an eight hour day. Um, most attend with a partner or a support person. They learn a lot about um, birthing techniques. Um, how to be emotionally prepared for a birth and afterwards. Um, and right now we have one open uh for Framingham on June 20th and that's over capacity. We were hoping only 10 people would sign up. Now we have 15. So I had to cut off the form and we have to figure out how how

018to navigate that part. But it's it's been great that we've been getting a lot of traction um and attention. Um and this is the fun part, our community baby shower. Uh the first one we had last year in June um and that was in Hudson um in Let's Be Kids Play Center. We had a total of folks uh 55 registered uh but by the end of the event I think we were close to 80. Uh we had 14 community partners who attended and tabled at the event. All participants received a maternal health bag uh which is the baby care packages. Um and there's a picture here uh of it. It's a tote bag, uh, a baby first aid kit, uh, a baby blanket, a water bottle, and a baby bottle cooler. Um, and everyone received

019a folder with their specific language on maternal health resources, whether it's um, how to refrigerate your uh, breast milk uh, and how to what how your breast milk changes throughout the first year. Um, we gave out uh, baby prizes. Um, we also had a baby boutique. Um, and that was really popular. So, we've been bringing it back for every shower. And our baby boutique is gently used or new baby items, including baby uh wipes, uh, diapers. U, we've had formula before, and it's really to give parents a shopping experience, um, where they can select things that they their child needs. Um, and that's been really awesome, and uh, families seem to be very responsive to that. Our second baby shower happened in November in Framingham and that one we had 89 people registered and then

020at the end of the night uh it was over a hundred. Um registrations are not required but they're highly encouraged just because we prepare material for the specific language of the family. Uh but we register them right right at the door and we always prepare ourselves for at least 30 more people. We had 14 community partners as well and everyone received the same um baby package. Um and and we had an actually expanded boutique because it was so popular. Uh our third one will be uh at the corner spa in Ashland. So we're really excited. We just started promoting it um as of two days ago or as of Friday possibly. Um it's going to be June 30th. Um, we already have eight community partners already pledged to attend and they're very excited. Um, I

021just listed a list of uh those who are participating. Um, and we're really just excited. We're going to have an ice cream truck. We're really trying to make this a very family oriented event um and really make people feel welcomed and celebrating this new phase um that they're entering. Um, so I'm I'm sure you you hopefully you'll see the the flyer or help us promote it. Um, we hope um that we have a really good uh turnout. Um, I'm we're preparing for at least a hundred. And that kind of concludes everything. Um, and thank you so much. And if you have any questions, um, I'm happy to answer those. >> I have some questions, Karina. >> Yeah. >> First of all, thanks very much. That's the first time I've ever seen a the presentation. Um

022so and and also thanks for the help with the RAM clinic and I wanted to let you know that they are scheduling one for July 2027. Um just to get it on your busy schedule. Um but just a couple questions. C maybe you said this. Can we get a copy of that presentation and can it include your email address? >> Yes, of course I can send that out. Um I'm happy to send the report as well. So you can look at it and the presentation um and and my contact. >> Okay. Excellent. Thank you. And then just a few questions. The people that come in to run the classes like the social worker or the doula are they paid or they volunteer? >> Um those are partners. So we do pay for their service. Um

023so for that uh we actually have a grant um that pays them to to attend. Obviously, uh we've partnered with them and that's uh at a steep, you know, rate like, you know, we pay we pay them a a a good deal and and they are happy to do that for us. Um but yeah, so we do pay them. Um but they're all certified. Um they all have their certifications and everything. >> So I imagine you you come up with the programming and then you look for those people versus them coming to you and saying, "I want to I'd like to do this or that." >> Yeah. Yes. So before we started with the maternal initiative, um we really wanted to be intentional with what we do. Um and that's kind of our spirit in

024general with our team. Um we met with um providers who service the the residents or people with babies or pregnant and we kind of asked like what is missing, what is needed and then we asked community members too. And that's kind of the feedback we got that they would love to have birthing classes but they're all in English. They're very expensive. They fill up really quickly and they're usually at a hospital setting. So, we wanted to put these classes in areas that are very community oriented. So, most of them are going to be at a library. Um, and doulas are great because they not only promote giving birth um at a hospital, but they also promote giving birth whatever the woman feels comfortable with or what the family feels comfortable with. And I think what

025we were hearing from some participants is that culturally hospital settings is not something that they felt comfortable with. So we wanted to give everyone a chance to experience birth the way that they wanted to and safely. So doulas have been great in doing that. Um and they they've been great about that. >> That's awesome. Thank you. >> You're welcome. >> Anybody else? No. Um, thank you for coming tonight. Appreciate it. >> Thank you. You >> could get us that presentation uh to Raj and then he can get that to us. >> Thanks. All right. Uh, next thing on our agenda is the Ashland High School student intern. So chief uh board we have we have Sia here Sia Mutu Swami who will be joining us at least for this summer right as a intern she's

026our high school student uh and I'll give to Sonia to introduce herself to the board and you know uh give us a little update you know what what we're trying to do here please Sonia go ahead please >> yeah um my name is Sonia and I'm a junior at Ashen High School um I kind of have always been interested in public health especially through my experiences as a Girl Scouts and um learning how to identify community needs and sustainable solutions. Um I think I've always kind of um loved being a part of the community and helping others, especially um taking on the role as president of the youth prevention council in my high school where we focus on prevention um of substance use and mental health support. and we recently went to the state house

027to talk about an excess tax um um policy and so we're currently like um waiting to hear back from them. So um with that experience I would love to be a part of like the board of health um to understand like the work that goes behind our community and especially um this year I will be the secretary of my student council. Um so I will get to connect with students and learn more about their perspectives and then bring it to the board as well. um and I would love to gain experience um on public health especially um in the future where I plan to study healthcare and I hope to pursue that path. So um I'm just really excited to be here and gain experience. Thank you. >> Great. Anybody have any questions for her?

028>> Nice to meet you. Thank you. >> Yep. Thank you. >> Welcome. >> Yeah. Welcome. >> Thank you. Thank you, Sunny. You can stay on if you like, you know, to see see the board functioning, you know. Thank you. >> All right. So, the next thing on our agenda is the Mary Mortonson 9th annual public health award discussion. Um, I know we have some nominees. Raj, do you want to take us through that? >> Yes, so we we have three nominations, you know, but let me let me pull that, you know. So, one nomination is for Emmy Tungliff. You know that the town manager have nominated her. Uh, give me one second. I'm going to pull all three here and we have sent the details right the second nomination uh was uh by Mr. San

029Germaine uh that he have nominated a organization called Kasa individual named Dieago Lo he's the executive director there uh at Kasa and Metro West workers solidary network and the third one we have is for uh Kristen Quinn who was nominated uh last year as well uh This nomination was by Lee Suridge, you know. So, we have three nominations, you know. >> Um, so I think we'll open this up for a discussion. Um, and then if we um come to a consensus, we can go for a vote tonight. Um, did everybody on the board have an opportunity to read the three nominations? Yes. >> So, everyone did any um does any board member want to make any comments? >> Uh the only comment I had was that they all look great and um I'm sure that

030you all felt the same way. >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> This is always this is always the you know the tough decision, right? Um right because you know we want to recognize everybody but under this award it's only one person per year. >> Yeah. >> Um you know uh just my comments um you know um you know I you know I've I've known Amy a long time. I worked with her quite a bit when I worked in Ashland. um you know her commitment to public health um is pretty extensive um you know and you know she's been doing this for a long time and you know personally my opinion is you know this would be a great opportunity to recognize her for all her work she's done in Ashland for many years I I agree

031um I and I think the letter was really supportive from Michael. Um, and just a really impressive background and and set of work. So, I I totally agree with you, Ed. Anybody have any other comments or David Barbara? Um I guess I'll just you know I'll mention you're right that we have um you know three qualified uh nominees uh who are quite deserving um you know uh since we haven't shared too many details for those who don't know Kristen Kern. She's um she's a mental health clinic uh clinician with the Ashlin PD as part of the jail diversion program and uh she um you know works with them to resolve mental health crisises and uh substance abuse uh domestic violence um unsafe unhealthy living conditions and and uh in suicide prevention. So, um I mean,

032you know, it's a it's a very valuable role for the community and and uh she's uh she's done a great job with it. So, it's uh I don't relish having to make a decision here. I'll be honest. >> I agree. >> I I'll I'll add to And I agree with that too, Dave. Um and I know that that uh Kirsten was nominated last year as well. Um I don't know if it was from this if the same person nominated her or not, but um it's certainly a role that is absolutely necessary and um I'm not as familiar with her her background as I am with um with some of what Amy has been doing. Um and I'll just add um also um that the third nominee which um I am forgetting the name but from

033the CASA Foundation nominated by Rob St. Germaine. talked to Rob about that personally and um now I don't know this person either but um I'm aware of as much of the background as you are from the letter that Rob wrote and um Rob feels really strongly about him as well um for for the Mary Mortonson Award and apparently the work that they're doing over there is is pretty remarkable as well. So um just wanted to put that plug in there too. >> Maybe we should make this a bianual award. Well, the the other thing is we we we don't have Maurice here, >> right? >> So, I I don't know if that's um somebody that we wanted to wait for, but >> I was actually just about to raise that point. Yeah, >> true. Yeah,

034>> ma'am. >> We can we can certainly table the vote for our next meeting. Is I just need a motion from somebody. >> Yeah, I I'll make a motion. I mean, I do think that this is the type of thing that you probably want the whole board >> weighing in on, right? >> Okay. So, I'll make a motion to table this um until we have all five members. >> Oh, we have a motion in a second. I'll just do a quick roll call vote. Dave >> I >> um Jay >> here. Sorry. I >> Barbara. >> And I'm a yes also. Okay. So, we're going to table that um and that way um we can have another discussion right before and and do a vote at our next meeting. Um let's make sure that all

035five members are there. >> Great. Perfect. Uh next thing on our agenda is the health director's report. >> Thank you chief. Uh so the farmers market is coming up uh uh this weekend. Uh so we have total of 30 approved vendors uh from from the health site and then two of our caterers are going to be there. So that's 32 vendors. Uh then there are three applications that's pending or you know we have not received applications but uh the vendors are kind of approved by the farmers market. So uh going to be at least 35 vendors you know that uh we'll be looking at uh for the for the farmers market. uh with our central mosquito control program uh we we have the spray dates uh uh for you for June. We had one spraying

036yesterday or at least there was one scheduled right then we have one on June 8th uh June 15 uh June 22nd June 29th. So any resident right who would like to get their property sprayed uh for for the mosquitoes you know they can call the central mosquito control project or go to their website to make an appointment for any of these dates and again the these services are free and it's paid by the town of Ashland mention that uh we have uh our third uh MSC stop the bleed training that's going to be happening on June 10th. uh uh that's next Wednesday uh from 6:00 to 8 and I guess all the slots are filled again. So this is going to be our third training and nurse an uh is is again uh handling that

037and she'll be doing it you know with our housing cases uh 20 joined right number 22 a lot of improvement with this particular unit uh I got a uh report from the management for uh Wednesday uh that the the treatment was done I'm a little concerned uh with with the adjoining units you know so when I read the report I guess uh we have ordered them to treat this unit 20 join drive number 22 as well as five adjoining units you know so they didn't get access to three of the adjoining units uh though the treatment been continuing is like couple of months now right but I would like to see all all the units on what's the update so now I'll talk to the management you know so try to get access to to

038the adjoining units so so it's all taken care at once so this is where we are uh we have a another complaint at 99 Warren Road. This uh this is going on for for a year almost you know the building department have dealt with us. we are dealing with this you know um the resident uh I don't know you know so we have sent an order letter I did had a phone conversation with her last week you know u she mentioned u that she didn't receive the letter then me and Julie who is a social worker you know she went to post the letter u on her door you know at that time you know I don't know up to what behavior she was she was screaming um all that stuff and then she called

039the Ashlin PD on us, you know. So, uh they didn't show up. It's still, you know, we have not gotten compliance on this property. Uh there was a lot of stagnant water on the tarp where things are, you know, a lot of random stuff on the property that we're concerned, you know, so I'll keep the board posted, you know, but definitely, I mean, she she she was screaming at us, told us to, you know, leave her property, you know, and all that good stuff, you know. So, we're working on that. Then we have another complaint. What what is 274 Union Street? This was overgrown grass and then some random stuff you know though typically we don't take these kind of complaints or but of don't get involved you know given there's very limited we can

040do about overgrown grass and all that and uh when last year you know we bring it along with the building department we bring the blight bylaw and Mr. Kingsman you know you was there you know how people was lining up against it you know so but those are the challenges we have right uh uh so given resolving these kind of situations so uh that's with uh 274 union though we did get compliance with it you know and there is another one we picked up today that was sent to us by our DPW you know hopefully we exalt that as well though I mean these kind of situations you know there's there's limited we can do per code uh with the road and complaints. Uh the only one we have uh uh or the active one

041is the Chestnut Brook, you know, where the bus stop is. I I've been there uh last week as well, you know, have not seen any any new activity. So hopefully that get resolved too, you know. So they did get the pest control that we asked them. Um but still open, you know, with us with the disease investigation. uh uh we did had a few tickborn uh uh tickborn disease cases with us you know and then there are two active TB cases that we are working uh and other than that for the tickbone cases we have we have ordered 300 tick uh kits today uh that we'll be distributing at the farmers market we we have uh booked couple of slots uh during our farmers market season for for a table there you know to distribute

042t uh kits as well as you know educational material to our residents. I guess it was short from my side this uh this time you know but I'm I'm open for any questions from the board. >> Any questions from Raj from the board? >> Yeah Raj, could you say a little bit more about what the the tech kits are and what their function is? >> Sure. Uh so Mr. We got this uh last year actually uh but we we got it from our shared services you know this this year the the state didn't approve buying them through through our common funds so we have decided to buy it from from the department site so it's a it's a kit right uh that do have a TV right that you can if if you have a

043take you know on you that you can take it off you know then the magnifying glass you know that that help you to identify you know your look at the tick you know so and there is a pouch there there is a bag you know if you for any reason you need to save that take you know uh so a couple of things in in the kit you know so we have ordered 300 of them for the residents to be distributed um one thing you know there is a there's a this thing going on that happens uh from by the bite of the low on start you know it's called alpha gal syndrome right so what happens right uh and with the state of Massachusetts see already seeing a lot of cases uh for for

044the alpha gal where with the bite of this tick right uh people get allergy to red red meat and it's pretty severe you know and what the state have done uh this year that they have made it as a reportable disease you know though it it doesn't transfer from one individual to the other right but just to keep a count on it and how much of it is happening it is a reportable disease right now through Maven you know so though I have not seen any case in Ashland per se right but the case is coming up already in the state you know so that we are aware of >> do you know what kind of what what parts of the state >> uh Mr. Kingsman, I can get back to you. You know, when

045I was at a seminar uh a couple of weeks back, you know, that was mentioned. I don't have that data right now, but like I can provide that to you, you know, so that'll be easy, you know, we can pull that and send it to the board. >> Great. Thanks. I didn't even know that that there were reported cases of uh alpha ga in Massachusetts. >> There are so you know, so uh but I will get you that data, you know. So um I I don't have the number again you know but like uh but there are there were reported cases you know so I guess that that's the reason that they have made it reportable you know just to keep a keep account and track of it. >> Great thanks. >> Thank you.
