The Shawnee County Health Department (SCHD) working in conjunction with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) and the Kansas Health and Environment Laboratories has identified a probable case of Monkeypox in Shawnee County. The individual was exposed after contact with a confirmed positive case that had traveled to Shawnee County from out-of-state. SCHD is awaiting confirmatory test results from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The individual is currently isolating at home and KDHE is working to identify and monitor any and all close contacts. To maintain patient confidentiality, no additional information will be shared at this time. The monkeypox vaccine, JYNNEOS, is available to individuals in Shawnee County with a known exposure to a positive case. Due to limited vaccine supply, eligible individuals will be contacted by KDHE or SCHD through contact monitoring efforts. ?The risk of monkeypox transmission in Shawnee County continues to be low,? said Teresa Fisher, Director of SCHD. ?The Shawnee County Health Department will continue to work in close collaboration with KDHE and our local healthcare partners. Should you be experiencing any symptoms consistent with monkeypox you should contact your medical provider immediately.? People with monkeypox sometimes develop a flu-like illness with fever, fatigue, and enlarged lymph nodes followed by a rash. The incubation period for monkeypox is typically 7 to 14 days; however, it can range from 5 to 21 days. Monkeypox is a viral infection that can spread through contact with body fluids, sores, or shared items (such as clothing and bedding) that have been contaminated with fluids from sores of a person with monkeypox. Individuals with monkeypox may spread the virus through: 1. Respiratory secretions through prolonged face-to-face interactions (the type that mainly happen when living with someone or caring for someone who has monkeypox); 1. Direct skin-to-skin contact with rash lesions (lesions may look like pimples) or infectious sores/scabs; 1. Sexual/intimate contact, including kissing, hugging, massaging and cuddling; 1. Living in a house and sharing a bed with someone; and 1. Sharing towels or unwashed clothing. Most people with monkeypox have a mild illness that improves without treatment over 2 to 4 weeks. Treatment is supportive and focused on easing the symptoms of the illness. Monkeypox is contagious and can spread easily to others until scabs have fallen off and a new layer of skin has formed. Monkeypox is NOT spread through casual brief conversations or walking past someone in a store. To prevent the spread of monkeypox, SCHD recommends: 1. Avoid close, skin-to-skin contact with people who have a rash that looks like monkeypox. 1. Do not touch the rash or scabs of a person with monkeypox. 2. Do not kiss, hug, cuddle or have sex with someone with monkeypox. 1. Avoid contact with objects and materials that a person with monkeypox has used. 1. Do not share eating utensils or cups with a person with monkeypox. 2. Do not handle or touch the bedding, towels, or clothing of a person with monkeypox. 1. Wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, especially before eating or touching your face and after you use the bathroom. KDHE has set up a phone bank that is available to assist in answering general questions about monkeypox. Individuals can call 1-866-KDHEINF (534-3463) Monday-Friday, 8:30 am ? 5 pm or can email their questions to monkeypox at ks.gov. *Shawnee County Health Department is committed to working in partnership with our community to promote and protect the optimal health of all people by bridging gaps to eliminate health inequities, respecting the diversity of our community, through adaptive and innovative processes.* *Craig Barnes* Division Manager Community Health Outreach and Planning Shawnee County Health Department 2600 SW East Circle Drive Topeka, KS 66606 http://www.shawneehealth.org/ 785.251.5612 office 785.806.6310 cell 785.251.5696 fax *+++++CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE+++++* *The information in this email may be confidential or privileged.

The S.E. Adams Street and S.E. 8th Street on-ramps to westbound I-70 will be closed in the morning, and the contractor will begin placing traffic control signage to close off the corridor. Drivers should expect to use alternate routes by the afternoon. The 8th Street exit will be the last open ramp for westbound motorists. Westbound I-70 through traffic will follow signed detours and be routed south to I-470, or north to K-4 to U.S. 24 to U.S. 75, or drivers can use the local street detour - Madison Avenue to 6th Street to Topeka Boulevard to the 1st Street I-70 on-ramp. Eastbound I-70 traffic will remain open, but still reduced to one lane. Working in collaboration with the City of Topeka, KDOT has studied construction work zones in the area and researched traffic patterns. There will be increased traffic congestion, however, the designated detours will be able to handle the increase. Drivers should expect delays and plan their routes accordingly. Once the pavement patching is complete, westbound I-70 will reopen to one lane. Both directions of I-70 will remain reduced to one lane from just east of MacVicar to S.E. 8th Street until construction of the viaduct?s replacement is complete. The Polk-Quincy Viaduct project is scheduled to begin in early 2025. More information about the project can be found at www.polkquincy.org .

Good Morning, We are excited to announce that Topeka Habitat for Humanity has received a $25,000 grant from Lowe?s to help complete 5 Housing Plus repair projects in Shawnee County. The funding is part of Lowe?s partnership renewal with Habitat for Humanity International that includes a donation of $2.5 million to support 100 local Habitat organizations undertaking home repair and rehab projects across the U.S. ?We are thrilled to be partnering with Lowe?s to create a sustainable and lasting impact for the aging homeowners in our community. Access to safe, decent and affordable shelter becomes even more important as we age and we are so thankful to have Lowe?s supporting our Housing Plus approach to our Aging in Place program,? said Janice Watkins, CEO, Topeka Habitat for Humanity. The granted funds will allow Topeka Habitat to focus on repairs that improve the quality of life for those that are aging in their homes with a focus on safe, accessible and energy-efficient repairs that will allow the homeowners to continue to live in their homes with increased autonomy, accessibility and dignity. This work is vitally important as Aging in Place is a focus for the City of Topeka and housing partners, as the number of residents age 65 and older is projected to increase by 24 percent over the next five years, according to the Citywide Housing Market Study and Strategy Summary. *Topeka Habitat will be kicking off this grant with a volunteer day on August 23, 2022 from 8:30-3:30 to build a ramp for an aging homeowner at 1340 N. School Auburn, KS 66402 .* Access to quality, affordable home repair and modification services continues to be out of reach for low to moderate income households across the nation. With the support of this funding, Topeka Habitat will be able to further its efforts of helping aging homeowners in Shawnee County address critical health and safety issues in their homes. *Please find the full press release attached.

The project spans less than half a mile on U.S. 24 to the east and west of the N.W. Rochester Road/N.W. Tyler Street intersection. According to the Kansas Department of Transportation, traffic will encounter intermittent lane closures on U.S. 24, N.W. Rochester Road and N.W. Tyler Street. Traffic signals at the intersection will continue to operate as normal, and flaggers will also alert motorists to slow down in the area. Work will take place 24 hours a day, Monday through Friday, and Saturdays as needed. There will be a speed reduction and 11-foot width restriction through the work zone.

Students receive a profile detailing their life at age 26, including their profession, salary, family status, and more. They use this information to navigate through stations representing all the expenses they must account for in a month, such as housing, transportation, child care, groceries, etc. Volunteers are positioned at each station to help students determine what they owe and help them with their budget. Students leave the event with a better understanding of creating and balancing a budget. The success and lasting impact of these events depend on volunteers like you.

The Shawnee County Health Department (SCHD) has been notified that it has been awarded national accreditation through the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB). PHAB is a nonprofit organization that administers a rigorous national accreditation program which has local health departments across the nation demonstrate how they promote and protect the health of the communities they serve. PHAB?s mission is to advance and transform public health practice by championing performance improvement, strong infrastructure and innovation. ?We are extremely honored to be recognized by the Public Health Accreditation Board for the amazing work our team does ensuring that Shawnee County is the best place to live, work and play,? said Teresa Fisher, Director of the SCHD. ?Becoming accredited is evidence of the continual excellence of our department and I am especially proud of our staff for the time and effort they put in every day. It is because of them that we are able to offer quality and essential public health services to our community.? The national accreditation program, jointly supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, sets standards against which the nation?s more than 3,000 governmental public health departments can continuously improve the quality of their services and performance. To receive accreditation, a health department must undergo a rigorous, multi-faceted, peer reviewed assessment process to ensure it meets or exceeds a set of quality standards and measures. ?Whenever you see our seal of accreditation, you will know that the Shawnee County Health Department has been rigorously examined and meets or exceeds national standards that promote continuous quality improvement for public health,? Fisher said. ?By continuing to improve our services and performance, we can be sure we are meeting the public health needs of those we serve as effectively as possible.? The SCHD becomes one of more than 300 health departments across the United States accredited by PHAB; including, one of seven county health departments in Kansas (Douglas, Johnson, Reno, Riley, Sedgwick and Wyandotte) to achieve national accreditation along with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the Fort Riley Department of Public Health. Public health departments play a critical role in protecting and improving the health of people and communities. In cities, towns, and states across the nation, health departments provide a range of services aimed at promoting healthy behaviors; preventing diseases and injuries; ensuring access to safe food, water, clean air, and life-saving immunizations; and preparing for and responding to public health emergencies. ?The Shawnee County Health Department joins the growing ranks of accredited health departments in a strong commitment to their public health mission,? said PHAB President and CEO Kaye Bender, PhD, RN, FAAN. ?The peer-review process provides valuable feedback to inform health departments of their strengths and areas for improvement, so that they can better protect and promote the health of the people they serve in their communities. Residents of a community served by a nationally accredited health department can be assured that their health department has demonstrated the capacity to protect and promote the health of that community.?
