The focus areas for I-Smile in Scott County will be education, care coordinatorn, and direct dental services. I-Smile will be available to coordinate dental referrals beginning in September. For more information, frequently asked questions, and dental screening forms follow the link below.
Flood Clean-Up
The Quad Cities has experienced extensive flooding in June. To protect the health and safety of our residents, the Scott County Health Department suggests the following:
-
Do not wade, swim, or play the water. Water currents can be extremely swift and dangerous.
-
Avoid contact with flood waters as much as possible. Flood water is contaminated and can cause illness if swallowed.
-
If you are working in a flood area wash your hands thoroughly and frequently with soap and water.
-
If you become injured, contact your health care provider for wound care and to determine if a Tetanus vaccination is needed. If a Tetanus vaccination is recommended, the Scott County Health Department has this service available to the public at no charge.
Once the flood waters recede, it is time to begin clean-up. Scott County Helath Department has provided a resource page to help you protect your personal health and safety during the clean-up.
Temporary Food Service Licensing
With RAGBRAI scheduled to pedal through our community this summer, the Scott County Health Department wants to remind everyone that you must have a temporary food service license to sell any food or drink. There is a fee for the license that must be paid prior to opening and an inspection will take place the day of the event. Payment and application for food booths during RAGBRAI must be received by Scott County Health Department by Tuesday, July 22 at 4:00pm. Guidelines for your booth and the application for the license can be found at the link below.
