What Works

Strategy

For 2020-22, the Healthy Living Coalition has developed an Implementation Plan that includes a number of effective strategies designed to address the risk factors associated with these diseases to build on the success that has been made. These strategies include Health Habits, Healthy YOU, hypertension screening and follow-up, prediabetes screening, testing, and referral to the Diabetes Prevention Program, vaping and tobacco cessation program, Wholesome Rx and Nature Rx programs, Walk with a Doc/Play with a Doc, Winter Walking programs, preventative care and exercise prescriptions delivered through Patient-Centered Medical Homes, Bellefontaine Joint Recreation District’s activity program, using the website, blogs, and telehealth technologies, and educational classes on healthy living in the schools

Why Is This Important?

In Logan County, chronic diseases related to obesity and other behavioral risk factors continue to affect many residents. Data from the 2020 CHA shows that in 2019 Mary Rutan Hospital treated: 2,770 adults for hypertension; 1,302 for diabetes; and 920 for coronary heart disease. With the exception of diabetes, these numbers have improved since 2016. These gains can, in part, be attributed to the efforts of the Healthy Living Coalition to increase residents’ consumption of healthy foods and engagement in physical activities. Unfortunately, the CHA data also showed that between 48-49% of adult residents are obese and nearly 27% use tobacco products.
