Dear Michael;



Could you please find out if OST has been used specifically in a Public
Health Department?



The following is a description of public health:



The Milwaukee Health Department is a leader in assuring that the city is
the healthiest city in the nation, with the best personal health care,
environmental health, and population-based preventive services possible.



 Family and Community Health

Five multidisciplinary divisions are organized to accomplish specific
community health outcomes. They assess public health needs, develop
healthy public policy, assure that the public, nonprofit, and private
sector work together to accomplish outcomes, and provide direct services
when needed.

Maternal and Child Health outcomes include reducing disparities in
infant death and increasing school-readiness of preschool children.
Activities include family case management and home visiting programs for
pregnant women and young children, follow-up of infants with special
needs, and community-based promotion of healthy pregnancy and childrearing.

Healthy Behaviors and Healthcare Access focuses on health promotion
among youth and adults, and on assuring access to preventive and primary
health care. Key health promotion outcomes address reduction of tobacco
use, violent injuries, teen pregnancy, and cancer while improving diet,
cardiovascular, and mental health.

Home Environmental Health outcomes focus on preventable conditions like
childhood lead poisoning, asthma, and unintentional injuries.

Consumer Environmental Health promotes the outcomes of safe food, in
addition to equity, fairness, and the safety of consumer purchases in
retail establishments. Conducts all food inspections within the City of
Milwaukee.

Disease Control and Prevention seeks to control communicable diseases,
and to reduce and manage hazardous contamination of air, water, and soil.

Laboratories

Three laboratories perform tests that help health professionals analyze
the risk of disease, prevent exposures, and diagnose illness.


Thank you for your help!
