Radon warning and self care training part of WATCH By Linda Waggener The WATCH Coalition held its first meeting of the new year Thursday, January 8, 2020 at the Adair Health Department with two speakers. WATCH (Working Actively Toward Community Health) is the inter agency group that comes together monthly to focus on improvement of health and family lifestyles. Cancer specialist speaks on danger of Radon gas Wynona Padgett, the Lake Cumberland Regional Cancer Control Specialist for the ten-county area, brought attention to cancer-causing Radon, the second leading cause of lung cancer. Radon, a radioactive gas that forms naturally when uranium, thorium, or radium, break down in rocks, soil and groundwater. People get exposed to radon from breathing radon in air that comes through cracks and gaps in homes and buildings. Padgett is part of the UK Markey Cancer program. She will be speaking at a spring Chamber of Commerce meeting and will have a few free Radon test kits to hand out to any who may want to test their homes. Training offered on Self Care for health and education workers At this month's meeting, extra time was made available for Self Care training by guest speaker Dr. Joseph Bargione from Louisville. His work is dedicated to building resilient children and families. The objectives of his presentation to education and healthcare workers included discussion of a trauma-informed organization system, secondary trauma and compassion fatigue and how they impact the ability to serve children and families. It concluded in a review and drafting of a self care plan so that staff is able to reach the goal, "be my best to do my best." The next meeting of the Adair County WATCH Coalition will be March 12, 2020 at 11amCT at the Health Department. For more details on these issues or on other health education opportunities, contact the Adair County Health Department at 270-384-2286. This story was posted on 2020-01-10 06:41:53
