Based on the results of our latest community health needs assessment (chna), twin lakes regional medical center created the population health committee. This group is made up of hospital employees and representatives from the local health department, school system, local factories, extension service leaders, government officials and others. The committee meets monthly at the hospital and led the effort to get a smoke free community ordinance passed in three of our communities. The group is now working on making positive differences in the health of our community in such topics as diabetes, exercise, nutrition and general health. Under the leadership of the hospital and the local master gardeners association, the wallace avenue community garden became a reality in the spring of 2018. At the ribbon cutting for the garden in may, wayne meriwether, ceo of twin lakes regional medical center told the forty plus people there the story about how the community garden project came to be. "in the most recent community health needs assessment the hospital performed, nutrition and obesity were two of the top health challenges facing the people living here. When compared nationally and statewide, grayson county ranks low in several key areas including diabetes and diabetes deaths; adult obesity; limited access to healthy food; and the percent of low income residents that do not live close to a grocery store." the population health committee partnered with the master gardeners in building the community garden to help reverse the negative nutrition trends. Research and planning for the community garden had been going on for over three years. The group found several community gardens to base a grayson county program on including ones in owensboro and bowling green. Each gardeneer was assigned either a 48 square foot or 80 square foot raised bed plot to use throughout the growing season for a nominal fee. The hospital provided free meeting space to several groups throughout the year and several classes were sponsored by the hospital that educated interested community residents on health & wellness issues. They include: a. C.p.r. To healthcare providers and to the community b. Prepared childbirth and breast feeding classes c. County-wide baby shower in grayson county - provides information to women who are pregnant or want to become pregnant d. Sponsors the american red cross blood mobile multiple times each year e.
