      That’s awesome. Strategy 1 is the Bright Futures guidelines from the AAP. I ordered that pocket guide to show everyone! Possibly a good idea to give all primary care providers in the county.

    Dr. Schwalm has been curious about whether or not Medicaid offers any guidance on well care for the adolescent. In our search we came across this document, I will upload and link here:

    It might be that there are some pearls within.

    Interesting article here about programs in Iceland centered around high risk behaviors of teens. Their solutions have worked exceptionally well for them. One of the lead authors is now working at WVU. Please take the time to read this and perhaps we can convince the researcher to visit us.…[Read more]

    Hello everyone. Wanted to thank Dr. Schwalm and Shelley Argabrite for supporting my presentation to the Garrett County School Board yesterday afternoon. I think it was well received! They seem eager to hear more from us in the future.

    Thanks goes to Becky Aiken for providing us with the 9th grade health curriculum. It was last updated in 2011, and is likely due for update again soon.
    Of note, we should all be aware that Board of Education meetings take place on the 2nd Tuesday of the month and begin at

    In today’s meeting we discussed the Maryland State Health improvement Process (SHIP) indicator about adolescent wellness visits.

    The measure is defined this way:
    This indicator reflects the percentage of adolescents (ages 13-20 years old) enrolled in Medicaid (320+ days) who received at least one well child visit during the past year.

      This workgroup has been expansive in ways to address many issues relating to adolescent wellness! I appreciate you sharing this background from the meeting. It is still so concerning that our county ranks so poorly in this area. I’m hopeful that all of the work being accomplished now will help us improve. Thank you for your continued leadership…[Read more]

    Becky Aiken shared sample health related documents from Power School, the software used within GC Public Schools. I am uploading them so that we can become familiar with the kinds of health related data they are collecting, and to brainstorm other data points we would value if collected.
