Still unsure about Ohio Issue 1, the proposed constitutional amendment on bail?
@HealthPolicyOH has created a resource page to explain the ballot initiative and the connection between criminal justice and health: https://t.co/vaP5CvECb9
Looking forward to @HealthPolicyOH webinar today on pretrial incarceration & the bail system, part of our series on criminal justice and health! https://t.co/ItoksiFGR6
HPIO is hosting a FREE webinar on Sept. 26 to detail findings from our latest policy brief on pretrial incarceration and the money bail system. Details below:
Deaths among working-age Ohioans were up 51% from 2007 to 2021.
These are mostly preventable deaths w/ big impact on families, the economy & employers.

Looking forward to more multi-Amy meetings. 😂@HealthPolicyOH
Great example of how to embed evidence into the policymaking process. MN is using evaluation to make sure they fund SUD treatment approaches that work. @HealthPolicyOH

#FentanylAwarenessDay is a good time to think about improving Ohio's Good Samaritan law.
Fentanyl requires a rapid response to overdose prevention. Ohio must send a clear, simple message that seeking help to save a life is always the right thing to do: https://t.co/enbza7AS5m

2022 does not need to be another record-setting year for drug overdoses in OH. Improving our Good Samaritan law would help.
Urgent help, empathy & encouragement--NOT fear & punishment--are what we need.#harmreduction@HealthPolicyOH

Yes! The state must hold IT vendors accountable for performance metrics to improve the OH Benefits system.
Ohioans who need help the most are falling thru the cracks because of this glitchy Kafkaesque system.

@schmangee Two great bike infrastructure improvements made my morning commute so much safer: The Goodale Hook connects Grandview directly the Olentangy Trail, and the multi-purpose sidewalk along Third Ave near Olentangy River Road is fantastic.
@HealthPolicyOH is honored to be part of the Healthy Beginings at Home team! We ♥️ better birth outcomes, equity & rigorous evaluation!

Strengthening public health & prevention is the most effective way to empower Ohioans to lead healthier lives. But OH invests far less in public health than most other states.
