  10. Performance Workload Indicators The salaries of a full time Director of Public Health and full time Administrative Assistant who also support the elements of the Health Department budget. In addition to the full time personal, the health department also employs: (1) Contractual onsite sewage & disposal system plan reviewer. (1) Contractual onsite sewage & disposal system soil evaluator (1) part time public health nurse (24 hours a week) to investigate all State mandated MAVEN reported infectious/communicable reportable diseases and assist in conducting community Influenza clinics. While the North Reading Health Department has sustained staffing, there continues to be a demand for additional community public health services and inspections. As I understand the budgetary constraints placed on the Town this fiscal year, the Health Department is put forth a level services budget at this time. I would like advocate and advise the Select Board that there is still a strong need for additional resources to support the Department as I had presented to theSelect Board 2 years ago.

  11. FY 2025 Goals Continue to expand role of the Public Health Nursing services through the Community Impact Team (CIT), Social Service Action Team(SSAT), Council on Aging(COA) and the Region 3B Emergency Preparedness Public Health Coalition. Continue to offer essential community Public Health Inspections and Services such as post CDC COVID-19 education and guidance. Continue to provide Public Health outreach by Informing, educating and empowering the residential and business community of North Reading. Continue to the implement the 10 essential functions of public health for the Town of North Reading to sustain and maintain public health services 1. 2. 3. 4.
