Chronic Diseases in Sutter County – Where we are now…Where do we want to be?
Chronic diseases are persistent or recurring conditions that generally result from factors
such as poor diet and living conditions, using tobacco, or other harmful substances, or a
sedentary lifestyle. Chronic diseases include heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and high
blood pressure. The links below show that chronic disease, obesity, and smoking rates in
Sutter County are much higher than overall rates in California. The good news is that
many of these conditions can be improved through simple lifestyle modifications like:
- Eating more fruits & vegetables
- Walking more
- Quit using tobacco: Call 1-800-NO-BUTTS for free help
In June 2009, Sutter County Public Health hosted a one day summit to bring together
representatives from schools, work sites, and healthcare facilities to begin to address
this critical situation. The group decided as an initial goal to educate colleagues
regarding the chronic disease situation in Sutter County and to promote smoking cessation.
The summit will reconvene in November to assess progress in meeting these goals and to
develop long term strategies that will result in a healthier community. For further
information on how you can help, contact Amerjit Bhattal, Assistant Director – Health Division.

Skin and Staph Infections
Staphylococcus aureus
(staph)
are bacteria that many healthy people carry
on their skin or in their nose.
Staph can sometimes cause serious infections
like pneumonia, blood, or joint infections, and deep skin infections.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
(MRSA)
is a type of staph that is
not killed by penicillin and similar antibiotics. It causes skin infections
especially among school children. Students, faculty and staff at schools
should be sensitive to the possibility of disease transmission.
The California Department of Public Health has released information to
address the concerns of the educational community in California about
MRSA.
