Local Prevention Spotlight
Medical Examiner & Coroner Resources
Outagamie County prepared a report that highlights child death review activities from 2020-22. The report explains their mission, identifies stakeholders and summarizes the burden of injury-related fatalities to residents age 18 and younger. Included are the four leading manners of death which are: accident, homicide, suicide and undetermined. It also highlights recommendations that have been considered for prevention.
The report is a call to action to get involved. Review the recommendations and identity how you can help!

Previous Prevention Spotlights
In May, the Walworth County Child Death Review (CDR) Team, promoted and participated in a boating safety course on Delavan Lake.
These free courses were available to those age 12 and older, and are designed to help boaters learn safety techniques related to navigation, regulations, personal safety, boating use and how to properly use a life jacket.
We appreciate Walworth County and their commitment to water safety and prevention efforts!
The Fox Valley Safe Sleep Coalition (Coalition) is a collaborative group working to promote consistent safe sleep messaging between organizations and health systems that work with families. This effort was developed after realizing Fox Cities’ residents move between each participating county. The Coalition uses physical safe sleep displays to enhance health literacy for all; especially visual learners. Displaying a physical safe sleep environment, rather than solely using a poster, is a unique way to bring teaching to life. Displays will rotate throughout the Tri counties.
Posters are being developed and will be available for partners who do not have space for the display. Posters provide another opportunity to support visual learners and are typically coupled with verbal messaging. The Coalition is a Tri-County Coalition that stemmed from a project led by the Outagamie County Child Death Review team, and has grown to include Calumet and Winnebago counties.
Current Coalition members include health systems, nonprofits and four local health departments. We are excited that Calumet, Outagamie and Winnebago counties are collaborating in this way!
