A Message from the Health Commissioner….
P ublic health has changed dramatically in the last few years, locally and nationally.
From tuberculosis outbreaks to concerns regarding a potential bioterrorism event to preparing for the next influenza pandemic, public
health departments need to be structured to identify and treat infectious diseases, provide routine services such as childhood immunizations, enforce public health laws including restaurant inspections, and now to develop preparedness plans for the unthinkable.
To meet the increasingly complex public health needs of our community, in 2005 we developed and implemented a broad reorganization of our department. We believe we have developed a public health strategy and infrastructure that will better equip our department to meet the ever changing public health challenges of the 21st century.

A Message from the Department Administrator….
T o be an effective public health agency, we must ensure our program meets the current needs
of the community with respect to communicable disease identification, prevention and education. Further, we must ensure that we are utilizing our limited
resources to the best of our ability to meet those community needs.
In 2005, the Fort Wayne-Allen County
Department of Health underwent a major reorganization which included an in-depth evaluation of each of the department’s 14 divisions and a significant realignment of staff and services. The goal of the reorganization was to allow for more efficient provision of services and to improve the overall productivity levels of the department. Department-wide policies and procedures continue to be developed with the hope of continuing to better structure how the agency operates and improve accountability and quality assurance.
We refer to 2005 as the year of improving the face of public health in Allen County. We look to 2006 as a year of meeting the ever increasing public health challenges that face this community – and we do so with great confidence!

Highlights for 2005 ■ Began operations as the Infectious Disease Center on Nov. 4, 2005 as
a result of the department-wide reorganization to facilitate more effi-cient use of resources.

Major programs/services: ▪ Monitor, prevent and treat reportable communicable diseases

■ Celebrated World TB Day on March 24, 2005 with a well-attended meeting of the Community Infectious Disease Network of Allen County (CIDNAC). Dr. Philip LoBue of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provided a lecture on Latent Tuberculosis Infection. Local speakers educated the multi-disciplinary group of health professionals regarding Directly Observed Therapy, Contact Investigation and Isolation.
■ Began working with a group of community Tuberculosis stakeholders, including both Parkview Health Systems and Lutheran Health Network, to create the TB Consortium. This group is creating a plan to train individuals locally to provide Tuberculosis skin testing in a more educational, organized and cost efficient manner than has been available in the past.
Goals for 2006 ■ Continue to identify, effectively treat and cure patients with active
pulmonary Tuberculosis ■ Continue to identify contacts to active cases of Tuberculosis and
provide evaluation and treatment to those with latent Tuberculosis infection
■ Screen high-risk populations and assure that infected individuals are treated to prevent development of active disease
■ Provide timely and thorough investigation and reporting of mandatory reportable communicable diseases
■ Plan and implement innovative efforts to reach non-English speaking populations with latent Tuberculosis infection in need of medical evaluation and treatment in the most efficient and effective way possible
■ Assess communicable disease occurrences for local trends and implement strategies to decrease disease transmission
■ Assist with department-wide plans for emergency preparedness as it relates to communicable diseases and mass contact investigation and treatment
