Disturbing Ads Cover D.C. Station: 'Your Local Coal Burning Plant Has A New Filter'

Commuters probably weren't expecting this on their way to work in the morning. Beginning July 12th, the Sierra Club took over all of the ad space inside Washington, D.C.'s Farragut North Station to share their message that air pollution from coal-fired power plants poses health risks.

The number of county residents unable to access health care continues to rise, according to the latest data trends published by The Partnership for a Healthier Carroll County.

Healthy Carroll Vital Signs, the annual community health assessment report, revealed that 13 percent of the county is unable to see a physician because of the cost, compared to 10.5 percent last year.

Rebecca Herman, grants manager for The Partnership, oversees the Healthy Carroll Vital Signs Database. Established in 2005, the database is a way to track the county's health status.

More than 50 health indicators ranging from physical activity to availability of health care are detailed in the report. According to Herman, each uses its own source for data and almost all come from outside sources, including The Maryland Cancer Registry, Maryland Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey and Maryland Vital Statistics.

The latest data was released in June and revealed that there are a lot of areas that need improvement, Herman said. The data chart is available at healthycarroll.org....  http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/local/number-of-residents-unable-to-pay-for-physician-visits-rises/article_ae97b2e4-adc4-11e0-830f-001cc4c002e0.html
