CHFS discusses public health response to hepatitis a outbreak

By Doug Hogan/Beth Fisher

Frankfort, KY - Today, the Cabinet for Health and Family Services announced its support for a legislative resolution calling for an examination of the public health response to Kentucky's hepatitis A outbreak.

Department for Public Health leaders welcome the opportunity to explain the situation to legislators and work collaboratively to identify best practices, service delivery gaps, and other attributes of the response in order to strengthen the public health system's ability to respond to current and future outbreaks.


The cabinet took exception to a series of newspaper reports from the Courier-Journal, which they claim highlighted the negative, while ignoring many of the positive, aspects of the state's response. A number of local health department leaders voiced support for the state's leadership and response at today's press conference.

Several supporting documents were released to the media at today's event are posted online: https://chfs.ky.gov/News/Documents/hepadocs.pdf.
