Portune Proposes Joint City-County Infant Mortality Reduction Office & Review Team (May 27, 2008) -- Calling for a "new, focused initiative to lower our infant mortality rate," Hamilton County Commission president Todd Portune will formally introduce a resolution on Wednesday to create a joint City-County Office of Maternal and Infant Health and Infant Mortality Reduction. The goal of the initiative is to reduce Hamilton County's infant mortality rate to below the national average within 5 years."We have never before had city and county political leadership and city and county Health Boards come together around the issue with this kind of commitment to get something done," Portune said. Mayor Mark Mallory and Council Member Jeff Berding have led the effort for the joint collaboration with the City. It is anticipated that the city through either Council Member Berding or Mayor Mallory or both will formally introduce a companion resolution on Wednesday.Portune organized an Infant Mortality Summit in October 2007, which found that despite millions of dollars spent to address the infant mortality condition in Hamilton County, mortality rates remain inordinately high and have gotten worse. Infant deaths account for more than 50 percent of the deaths of all children ages 0-17 in Hamilton County.Infant Mortality rates in Hamilton County exceed the national average by almost 30 percent. The Infant mortality rate for African American and Appalachian ethnicities is three times the national average. Infant morality is defined as child deaths in the first year of life. About the Office of Maternal and Infant Health and Infant MortalityThe new Office of Maternal and Infant Health and Infant Mortality for Cincinnati and Hamilton County will be administered by a Board consisting of ten individuals to be appointed, five by the Hamilton County Commissioners and five by the Mayor Cincinnati upon the advice and consent of the Cincinnati City Council. In addition, under the Hamilton County Family and Children First Council, a sub-committee of the Child Fatality Review Team was re-instated to collect data pertaining to infant mortality.
