NATIONAL YOUTH VIOLENCE PREVENTION RESOURCE CENTER

Interpersonal violence is one of the most important issues facing our nation’s youth.

Developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other Federal partners, the Resource Center provides current information developed by Federal agencies or with Federal support pertaining to youth violence. A gateway for professionals, parents, youth and other interested individuals, the Resource Center offers the latest tools to facilitate discussion with children, to resolve conflicts nonviolently, to stop bullying, to prevent teen suicide, and to end violence committed by and against young people. Resources include fact sheets, best practices documents, funding and conference announcements, statistics, research bulletins, surveillance reports, and profiles of promising programs.

The Resource Center, established as a central source of information on prevention and intervention programs, publications, research, and statistics on violence committed by and against children and teens, is a partnership of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other Federal agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services; the Departments of Agriculture, Education, Housing and Urban Development, Labor, and Justice; the Health Resources and Services Administration; the National Institutes of Health; and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

The Vision

Governor Bob Taft has challenged state and local partners to coordinate the work for children around the vision of "enabling every child to succeed."

The Taft administration is clear there must be a shared understanding of what constitutes success. In 2000, Governor Bob Taft saw to it that citizens around the state helped to identify a set of six commitments to child well-being. These commitments, outlined below, will be used to develop policy, align program efforts and resources. Most importantly, the commitments will serve as a continual barometer of our progress in improving the lives of Ohio's children. Ohio's commitments to child well-being are:

• Expectant parents and newborns thrive.
• Infants and toddlers thrive.
• Children are ready for school.
• Children and youth succeed in school.
• Youth choose healthy behaviors.
• Youth successfully transition into adulthood.

Holzer Clinic Jackson

Holzer Clinic first opened a facility in Jackson, Ohio in February 1977. Initially, services were limited to Family Practice, but as the health care needs of Jackson have changed, Holzer Clinic Jackson has consistently expanded to meet those needs.

This growth continued with the addition in June 2000 of a 64,000 square-foot facility, located just off US Route 35 on Pattonsville Road. It is approximately 30 miles north of the Main Clinic in Gallipolis.

Our FREE elder care referral service, created by industry professionals, provides you with answers to senior care costs, connections to seniors care services in your state (including Medicaid) and Checklists to understand how to evaluate your care choices.

 Our Mission: Connecting Seniors with Quality Care Choices

We know that senior care is often something people do not want to talk about or think about, until it is actually needed. But we also know that just like a good insurance policy, both seniors and their families will weather the storm much better if a plan is in place. We will give you the tools to plan ahead and we will also give you the tools to implement a quality plan in an emergency situation. Our comprehensive Checklists and Quality Standards allow us to connect you with the right choice for your medical and financial situation.

Our Commitment
