Salem makes opposition to health change official | News, Sports, Jobs

Staff Writer SALEM City council put its opposition to the state’s proposed killing of the city health department in writing Tuesday, citing the department’s invaluable efforts during the pandemic and overall service to citizens. “The city of Salem strenuously objects to any effort by the state of Ohio to abolish the local Salem City Health Department, and moves that any effort to study the feasibility of dissolving the same or otherwise abolish it be immediately stricken from any state budget proposals,” the resolution said. Council voted 7-0 to approve the resolution, which noted the state only contributes $3,400 per year towards the city health district’s operation. The city funds the district with a per diem based on the city’s population, plus licensing fees and grants help cover costs.

Heath officials up in arms over state bill | News, Sports, Jobs

mgreier@salemnews.net SALEM City health officials expressed concern, sadness and frustration Wednesday over a state budget bill provision that could potentially shut down the city health district. Nothing is approved yet, with the Ohio House set to vote on House Bill 110, which if passed would then go to the Ohio Senate and eventually hit the governor’s desk for his signature. City Health Commissioner Alanna Stainbrook said she first learned about HB 110 and what it could mean for the city health department last week during a meeting of the Association of Ohio Health Commissioners. A provision called for abolishment of boards of health in cities with a less than 50,000 population, which would include Salem, East Liverpool, Warren, Alliance and about 16 other city health districts across the state. In other words, the city health department would cease to exist and its duties would be assumed by the Columbiana County General Health District, located in Lisbon.
