Health Dept. Gets $375,000 Grant for Suicide Prevention
Lewis and Clark Public Health has received a $375,000 federal grant to help prevent suicide in the county. We plan to use the money to hire a suicide prevention coordinator who will work with local school officials, law enforcement, medical providers, parents, coaches, church leaders, business leaders, and the Montana National Guard to identify and respond to mental-health needs in the community. Learn more about the projects the grant will fund.
Tobacco Industry Aims to Hook a New Generation
The tobacco industry uses a number of clever tactics to try to hook children and teenagers and create a new generation of users. Many of these tactics are related to how the products are displayed in the stores, at the point of sale. You can learn more about these tactics here.
Department to Implement New Fees Starting July 1
The Lewis and Clark City-County Board of Health has approved fee increases for our environmental services (like septic permitting, variances, and groundwater monitoring) and reviews of licensed establishments (like restaurants). The new fees take effect July 1, 2018. This is the first time the fees have been adjusted since 2009. The changes bring Lewis and Clark County into alignment with what other counties charge for the same services.
