Health Trends Braydon Lapeyrouse

For my assignment, I chose to contact the county public health department of Forsyth county in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. I called multiple departments and was eventually transferred Bob Whitwam. Unfortunately, I did not learn of his title. As I talked with Bob, he told me about some of the key concerns that the Forsyth County Public Health Department had. 

The first of which we spoke about, was infant mortality. Bob explained that recently the department had a meeting where they agreed that infant mortality was their top concern. They felt the rate was too high and were working on providing better care for newborns, young children and their mothers. This was also linked to immunizations. They hoped to have healthier infants in the future.

Education was also among their top concerns. Bob explained that they wanted to put more emphasis on quality education in public schools because poverty is becoming an ever growing issue. Without a quality education, the rising generations have dwindling chances of being able to achieve livable wages. There are many negative health related consequences for this including life expectancy, infant mortality, and over all wellness. Bob explained that through education, students would learn how much they needed to lead healthier lives and how education would help them achieve them. 

We also discussed mental health. In Forsyth County, they are seeing an over all decline in the quality of mental health. Poor mental health poses health risks for the individual with such. This is also closely related to emotional health. Those with poor mental and emotional health show less concern for their well being. Developing negative habits and in more extreme cases becoming a danger to their own lives.

Next was a focus I had not thought of before. Bob told me about how the county health department was very focused on the involvement of the faith based community in public health. He explained that the communities the county health departments are trying to protect are very diverse and don’t know too much about the department and their goals. However as more organizations in the faith based community begin to encourage better health practices and sponsor events, they can reach a greater number of individuals. Organizations with in the faith based communities also aid in the education of the people by promoting sound healthy habits and can provide funding for the county health department. 

Bob and I also discussed the health departments concern with political parties. Bob explained that the department is actively involved in woking together with local political parties. They wish to ensure that, as he put it, the health department “doesn’t get left out.” As the political parties legislate new policies, Bob explained  that the department wants to make sure that they don’t produce negative effects or health risks on the community. They also work to create policies that better promote better health.


I am really glad that I was able to speak to Bob. After trying for a bit I finally got a hold of a couple folks that would talk to me. I choose to use my conversation with Bob for my assignment because I liked how everything was relevant yet something you may or may not typically think about.
