Good morning, Meigs County. Behind every statistic is a story that matters. With approximately 1,600 Ohio children dying each year, the Meigs County Health Department is taking proactive steps through its Child Fatality Review Board, bringing together professionals across disciplines to examine these tragedies. By analyzing patterns and circumstances surrounding these losses, the team works toward a critical goal—preventing future deaths by identifying addressable risk factors and community health issues.
Meanwhile, at Ohio University, a remarkable 48-hour mobilization unfolded when students recognized that an environmental resolution contained hidden anti-Israel language. The student senate unanimously tabled the proposal after Jewish and non-Jewish senators alike spoke against it. Despite acknowledging antisemitic incidents on campus, student leaders Eden Levitt, Grace Jarchow, and Molly Cohen maintain that OU continues to be "a great place to be Jewish"—demonstrating how campus advocacy can effectively address complex issues.

💔 Ohio reviews child deaths to prevent future tragedies. The Meigs County Health Department coordinates a Child Fatality Review Board that examines the deaths of all county children under 18. This multidisciplinary team of professionals analyzes medical records, circumstances, and risk factors to understand how and why children died. With approximately 1,600 children dying in Ohio each year, these confidential reviews aim to identify preventable causes and underlying community health issues. The ultimate goal is reducing preventable child deaths by understanding patterns and implementing effective interventions.
🕊️ Ohio University students defeat anti-Israel resolution disguised as climate initiative. The student senate unanimously voted to "table indefinitely" a resolution that initially appeared focused on environmental concerns but actually condemned Israel and called for divestment. Seniors Grace Jarchow and Molly Cohen mobilized Jewish students in just 48 hours to speak against the proposal at the March 5 meeting. Support came from both Jewish and non-Jewish senators, with freshman Eden Levitt emphasizing that "condemning Israel without condemning Hamas is antisemitism." Despite awareness of antisemitic incidents on campus, the students maintain that OU remains "a great place to be Jewish."
