New Leadership
The Lexington Fayette Board of Health announced in October the appointment of Steve Davis, MD, as Lexington’s Interim Commissioner of Health.
Dr. Davis, with his experience in the medical field and as a public health official, was serving as the medical director.
As a result of his leadership, Kentucky established early childhood development programs that include Birth Defects Prevention, Home Visiting Program for improved pregnancy outcomes (HANDS), Healthy Start in Child Care, Immunizations for Underinsured Children, Early Childhood Mental Health, and Oral Health for Children. He was instrumental in developing six Diabetes Centers of Excellence across the state. These sites provided education in the management and treatment of diabetes, resulting in better outcomes for Kentucky’s diabetic population.
Davis has provided leadership to the medical profession with his previous service on numerous
Boards and Committees including the Kentucky Medical Association, Kentucky Pediatric Society, Kentucky Public Health Association, and the State AGOG Advisory Council among many others.
Pertussis Awareness
Lexington reported 1 new pertussis (whooping cough) case in October, after an outbreak earlier this year. Updated numbers are posted every Tuesday.
Pertussis is a highly contagious respiratory illness spread by coughing and sneezing. All central Kentucky caregivers should be on the lookout for signs and symptoms of pertussis while ensuring their kids are up to date on their vaccines or fully vaccinated with the booster.
The pertussis vaccine is part of school-age children’s routine immunization schedule, with a booster recommended for ages 11 and older. The vaccine’s immunity tends to decrease over time, making the booster important for older children and adults, so talk to your provider to find out if you need a new dose.
