Columbus Public Health is out in the community and brings health care to those who need it, Myers said.

It enrolls patients in Medicaid at various clinics throughout the city, for example.

Public health officials also travel to schools and community centers to provide dental and health screenings. And they work to help manage the opioid crisis in central Ohio by going to communitie­s and collecting syringes or teaching communitie­s to administer naloxone, the drug that reverses an opiate overdose.

Last year, Columbus Public Health collected more than 10,000 syringes and over 150 pounds of medication at two drug take-back events, Myers said.

It also held four naloxone training sessions, teaching people to administer the drug. People “all across the board” turn out for these events, she said.

“You get people with loved ones who are addicted, and they come because they want to save their life. You also get just concerned community members who want to be a part of the solution,” Myers said.

Columbus Public Health also helps residents get access to fresh produce.

This summer, as it has for the past 10 summers, Columbus Public Health is offering farmers markets for those on federal assistance, such as food stamps and the Special Supplement­al Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (commonly known as WIC).

“Our mission is protecting health and improving lives,” said Columbus Public Health spokeswoma­n Ann Luttfring. “All of our program stems from those two things.”
