Very cool, looking good. Remember that if you want other people to be able to post to the blog you have to give them permission.

 

I think it would be good to state some of the facts about asthma in Ingham County - esp childhood asthma hospitalization rates. People are always surprised when I share that Ingham's childhood asthma hospitalization rate of 36% is more than twice the state rate of 18% and is the second highest in Michigan by county, second only to Wayne County.

Environmental justice is equitable access to environmental benefits and protections across different race, income and other forms of difference. -------------------------------------------- Environmental justice is the right to a safe, healthy, productive, and sustainable environment, where "environment" is considered in its totality to include the ecological, physical, social, political, aesthetic, and economic environment. Environmental justice addresses the disproportionate environmental risks borne by low-income communities and communities of color resulting from poor housing stock, poor nutrition, lack of access to healthcare, unemployment, underemployment, and employment in the most hazardous jobs.  - National Association of County and City Health Officials

Hi All MMAC Members,

 

Attached is the MMAC minutes from our last meeting. They also can be viewed on the blog at  mid-michiganasthmacoalition.blogspot.com

To view them at the bottom of the blog, you would need to have a Google Account. It takes just a few minutes to create a Google Account and if you need help please let me know!

In the Blogger dashboard, click on the Settings tab, then Permissions.
You should be able to add authors.

That said, how do I join this group using a non gmail-address (as this
is my personal email)?

[Tiffany Doolittle]

Tiffany, as far as I know you can us any email address, mine is msn.com so try that. Thanks for your help, I'll try messing with the blog more when I get back from Haiti on July 5th. ~ Cheers
