County Health Department Aids Children in Rensselaer County
The Rensselaer County Health Department expands child health services with dental hygiene fluoride treatments in Hoosick Falls and Wynantskill, immunizations, school inspections, and home visits to new mothers. In 1947 over 2400 home visits were made, with growth expected as staff increases. The infant death rate stood at 204 per 1000 live births for the year, higher than state and national figures, prompting intensified programs to reduce deaths among mothers and infants.
