Issues related to a need for access to specialists in the area rather than travelling outside of the coverage area for care, an aging population, and a lack of psychiatric care in the area were identified in focus groups as factors impacting the health of the community.

Figures 22-24 illustrate responses from the focus groups regarding the community issues related to access problems. Participants were asked to share their reasons for not having a health care provider, based on a 5-point scale where 5=Very Serious problem, 4=Serious Problem, 3=Somewhat of a Problem, 2=Small Problem and 1=Not a Problem. Overall, the top five access needs ranked by the Focus Group participants are cost of specialists (3.7), the need for specialists to communicate to each other (3.6), scheduling at doctor’s office (3.4), cost of co-pays (3.3), and information detail on what your health insurance covers (summary sheet) (3.3).

Environmental quality is a general term which refers to varied characteristics that relate to the natural environment such as air and water quality, pollution and noise, weather as well as the potential effects such characteristics have on physical and mental health. In addition, environmental quality also refers to the socio-economic characteristics of a given community or area, including economic status, education, crime and geographic information. In 1980, the CDC established the National Center for Environmental Health. In 2006, the Pennsylvania Department of Health began collection of environmental data associated with health. This is a fairly new process with limited national and state data available. The goal is to include the following:
Ambient Air Quality Measures (Ozone, PM 2.5)
Contaminants in Drinking Water (arsenic, nitrates, disinfectant-by-products, lead)
Hospitalization for Asthma and Myocardial Infarction
Birth Defects and related Premature Births

Marcellus Shale Hydraulic Fracturing Marcellus Shale hydraulic fracturing and drilling is active in counties (McKean, Potter and Cattaraugus) of OVH’s primary service area, making the potential environmental and health issues important to study and consider. Fracking,” or hydraulic fracturing, is a widely used oil and gas drilling technique. Fracking involves injecting water mixed with sand and chemicals deep underground to fracture rock formations and release trapped gas. There are few comprehensive studies that outline the net effects of these processes on the community or the environment. As a result, there are several psycho-social issues associated with Marcellus Shale and “fracking” that have been documented, including the stress associated with health concerns and community disruptions associated with the drilling processes themselves. The information included in this study provides relevant excerpts from the few comprehensive studies that have been published to date. Although “real time” air quality data is available in selected areas, the compiled data is several years old (2007). Additionally, water quality data is only collected in municipalities that have public water systems and is not centrally reported, making accessing it a challenge. Outside of urban areas, water quality data is sporadic and dependent on individual owner testing; current testing standards do not include some of the substances of concern related to fracking. One study, “Drilling down on fracking concerns: The potential and peril of hydraulic fracturing to drill for natural gas” noted, “In 2008 and 2009, total dissolved solids (TDS) levels exceeded drinking standards in the Monongahela River, the source of drinking water for some residents of Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh’s water treatment plants are not equipped to remove them from the water supplied to residents.” The study also notes “….statistical analyses of post-drilling versus pre-drilling water chemistry did not suggest major influences from gas well drilling or hydro fracturing (fracking) on nearby water wells, when considering changes in potential pollutants that are most prominent in drilling waste fluids.”1

Another study The Impact of Marcellus Gas Drilling on Rural Drinking Water Supplies, noted “when comparing dissolved methane concentrations in the 48 wells that were sampled both before and after drilling, the research found no statistically significant increases in methane levels after drilling and no significant correlation to distance from drilling. However, the researchers suggest that more intensive research on the occurrence and sources of methane in water wells is needed.”2 According to the Pediatric Environmental Health Unit of the American Academy of Pediatrics, a study conducted in New York and Pennsylvania found that methane contamination of private drinking water wells was associated with proximity to active natural gas drilling.” (Osborne SG, et al., 2011). “While many of the chemicals used in the drilling and fracking process are proprietary, the list includes benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, xylene, ethylene glycol, glutaraldehyde and other substances with a broad range of potential toxic effects on humans ranging from cancer to adverse effects on the reproductive, neurological, and endocrine systems.” (ATSDR, Colborn T., et al., U.S. EPA 2009). “Sources of air pollution around a drilling facility include diesel exhaust from the use of machinery and heavy trucks, and fugitive emissions from the drilling and NGE/HF practices….volatile organic compounds can escape capture from the wells and combine with nitrogen oxides to produce ground level ozone.” (CDPHE 2008, 2010)3 Recent research conducted by the RAND Corporation analyzed water quality, air quality and road damage. The RAND results of the water quality and road damage are not yet published.

This paper provides an estimate of the conventional air pollutant emissions associated with the extraction of unconventional shale gas in Pennsylvania, as well as the monetary value of the associated regional environmental and health damages. The conclusions include:
In 2011, the total monetary damages from conventional air pollution emissions from Pennsylvania-based shale gas extraction activities is estimated to have ranged from $7.2 to $32 million dollars. For comparison, the single largest coal-fired power plant alone produced $75 million in annual damages in 2008.
This emissions burden is not evenly spread, and there are some important implications of when and where the emissions damages occur. In counties where extraction activity is concentrated, air pollution is equivalent to adding a major source of [nitrogen oxides oxide] NOx emissions, even though individual facilities are generally regulated separately as minor sources. The majority of emissions are related to the ongoing activities which will persist for many years into the future; compressor stations alone represent 60 to 75 percent of all damages.
Further study of the magnitude of emissions, including primary data collection, and development of appropriate regulations for emissions will both be important. This is because extraction-related emissions, under current industry practices, are virtually guaranteed and will be part of the cost of doing business.

Pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi, cause infectious diseases; these diseases can be spread, directly or indirectly, from one person to another. These diseases can be grouped in three categories: diseases which cause high levels of mortality; diseases which place on populations heavy burdens of disability; and diseases which owing to the rapid and unexpected nature of their spread can have serious global repercussions (World Health Organization).

Mental Health refers to a broad array of activities directly or indirectly related to the mental well-being component included in the World Health Organization’s definition of health: “A state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease.” Mental health is related to the promotion of well-being, the prevention of mental disorders, and the treatment and rehabilitation of people affected by mental disorders. According to the World Health Organization, substance abuse refers to the harmful or hazardous use of psychoactive substances, including alcohol and illicit drugs. Psychoactive substance use can lead to dependence syndrome – a cluster of behavioral, cognitive and physiological phenomena that develop after repeated substance use and that typically include a strong desire to take the drug, difficulties in controlling its use, persisting in its use despite harmful consequences, a higher priority given to drug use than to other activities and obligations, increased tolerance, and sometimes a physical withdrawal state. Western Pennsylvania has experienced an epidemic of heroin and opiate abuse in the past 8-10 years. Pennsylvania now has the 7th highest drug overdose mortality rate in the United States, with over 3,000 deaths being heroin-related overdoses. Drug overdose deaths in Pennsylvania have now exceeded the number of deaths from automobile accidents.

As a result of the primary and secondary data analysis, the consulting team identified 46 distinct community needs and issues that demonstrated disparity, negative trend or gap between the local/ regional data and the state, national or healthy people goal and/or that qualitative information suggested that it was a growing need in the community. At their meeting on March 9, 2016, the OVH Steering Committee agreed with the list of potential needs, participated in prioritizing the needs based on the selected criteria and met again on April 11, 2016 to discuss the prioritization results. Table 3 identified the selected criteria. Table 3. Prioritization Criteria

I. Introduction
Hello, my name is _____________________ and we’re going to be talking about community health. We are attempting to conduct a community health assessment by asking diverse members of the community to come together and talk to us about community health problems, services that are available in the community, barriers to people using those services, and what kinds of things that could or should be done to improve the health of the community. Does anyone have any initial questions? Let’s get started with the discussion. As I stated earlier, we will be discussing different aspects of community health. First, I have a couple of requests. One is that you speak up and only one person speaks at a time. The other thing is, please say exactly what you think. There are no right or wrong answers in this. We’re just as interested in your concerns as well as your support for any of the ideas that are brought up, so feel free to express your true opinions, even if you disagree with an idea that is being discussed. I would also ask that you do some self-monitoring. If you have a tendency to be quiet, force yourself to speak and participate. If you like to talk, please offer everyone a chance to participate. Also, please don’t be offended if I think you are going on too long about a topic and ask to keep the discussion moving. At the end, we will vote on each of the topic areas brought up and rank them according to how important they are to the health status of the community. Also, we have an outline of the topics that we would like to discuss before the end of our meeting. If someone brings up an idea or topic that is part of our later questions, I may ask you to “hold that thought” until we get to that part of our discussion. Now, to get started, perhaps it would be best to introduce ourselves. Let’s go around the table one at a time and I’ll start. Please tell your name, a current community initiative or project that you are currently

involved in (or a community health issue that is important to you) and your favorite flavor of ice cream.
II. Overall Community Health Status
