BRDHD Receives Award for "Innovation in Service Delivery"
 

The Kentucky Department for Public Health presented the Barren River District Health Department with an award for "Innovation in Service Delivery".  The award was presented to Dennis Chaney, Director of the Barren River District Health Department, at the Barren River School Health Summit on March 28, 2007.  The award recognizes efforts put forth by the health department to develop the Center of Excellence in School Health.

The Center's goal is to promote the eight components of coordinated school health which are:  health education, physical education, health services, nutrition services, counseling and psychological services, healthy school environment, health promotion for staff and family/community involvement.  By extending their hands as a partner, the health department has been able to engage school superintendents and empower school personnel in working together to improve the health of our community.  "This award truly acknowledges the strong collaboration between our agency and the 14 public school districts in the Barren River Area,"  said District Director, Dennis Chaney.
