CREATING HEALTHY PLACES Creating Healthy Places to Live, Work and Play is an initiative funded by a grant from the New York State Department of Health awarded to Arnot Ogden Medical Center, working in collaboration with over 30 Community Partners, to reduce and prevent obesity, type 2 diabetes and other chronic diseases. The grant will fund sustainable policy systems and environmental changes through programs that will make Chemung County a healthier place to live:
… by improving parks and playgrounds… by making it easier and safer to get to places to play… by creating community gardens to provide fresh fruits and vegetables... by working with restaurants to make eating out healthier

LYME DISEASE PREVENTION• Wear appropriate clothing.
Light-colored clothing to spot ticks easily.
Long-sleeved shirts buttoned at the wrist.
Long pants tucked into socks or boots.
A hat.
• Consider insect repellent.
Deet on skin, or Permethrin on clothing.
• Stay in the middle of the trail and avoid brushing against vegetation.
• Check for ticks every few hours, with a full body tick-check at the end of the day. • Remove any tick as soon as you find it. Use tweezers to grasp the tick near its mouthparts, as close to the skin as possible.
Pull steadily and firmly until the tick lets go.
Apply rubbing alcohol or peroxide to the bite site.

SAFETY TIPSOur street and road network is for all users
– unless specifically prohibited.
Pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists must follow all applicable Department of Motor Vehicle laws.
BE ALERT, DISTRACTION KILLS - travel requires concentration whether walking,
bicycling, or driving.
Bicyclists should ALWAYS wear a helmet – properly.
Be visible – bicyclists and pedestrians should wear bright,
reflective clothing.
Be especially vigilant at night or during inclement weather.
New York State laws require front and rear lights for bikes at night.
Be predictable and make eye contact.
Always bike with and walk against traffic – it’s the law.
Use pedestrian signals where available.
For more safety tips, go to the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee: www.nysgtsc.state.ny.us
