Public Comment:
a) Ms. Emily Ott o introduce d herself. She took over as the Outreach Advocate for Bolton
House and started few months ago.
b) Ms. Heidi Stewart discussed the Pepin County Comm u nity Health Assessment . The
results so far indicate that m ental health is at the top (15% reporting having some sort of
MH/anxiety struggle). The next is d elayed medical care . C iting cost as the top issue and
scheduling appointment s that meet their needs a s second. I n the Pepin County Jail if
someone is prescribed medication by the nurse practitioner , they are willing to provide a
30-day prescription to go to the pharmacy to get it filled . That allows those individuals a
full month to get in to see a physician .
a. Mr. Phil Wicktor asks if the inmates can all afford to pay for the prescription
medications ?
i. Happens quite often with inmates. They realize Badgercare doesn ’t cover
the medication, and they choose not to fill it or are choosing what is more
important to pay whether meds or other wants/needs.
ii. Ms. Mary Campbell-Wood discussed it is her 4 th year teaching
‘Companions Through the Wilderness: Healing from Loss and Grief ’ class
and it has been a highly popular class. In post surveys, it asks for
participants to talk about their substance abuse and grief. Over 90% of
participants say they have used substances to numb their feelings of grief
and are not able to face the losses they ’ve experienced.
Reentry Program Sustainability ~ Ms. Mary Campbell Wood :
a) Due to B uffalo County inmates not currently being housed in the Buffalo County Jail, the
program is not pursuing additional grant funding. Instead, have decided to l oad up on
purchasing educational materials to help for next 1-2 years . Have decided to not pay for
the R ecovery C oach. Tremp ealeau C oun ty did not come through to allow access for the
R ecovery C oach, and he has had minimal contact with Pepin County inmates . Therefore,
can ’t justify renewing the contract. Have been able to work with Pierce C oun ty Jail for
teleconference classes and have taught 3 classes so far. Pierce C oun ty is not concerned
with funding on their end for these classes (ex. p rinting copes of materials) . Have
partnered with Dunn C oun ty for 7-8 years so there are no concerns there.
a. Ms. Susan Krisik would like a list of what classes are being held monthly.
Policy/Procedure changes Jail Nursing Program ~ Ms. Heidi Stewart :
a) Is wanting to talk about harm reduction and what the Health Department offers. They
offer needle exchanges, sharps disposal, Narcan, Fentanyl test strips, Deterra Drug
Deactivation Pouches (to get rid of medications). Recently started for the jail population,
anyone who comes in and stays for a 14 or more-day period will be doing health
appraisals. Now offering life skill promotion and has been integrated to the health
appraisal for health history, offering suggestions on different things they could change
and suggestions for resources after release. When the inmates leave, they get access to
harm reduction kits (listed above and a dozen condoms). Policy/procedure is updated and
implemented.
a. Ms. Mary Campbell-Wood asks if the jail pays any extra for jail nursing or is it
part of the per day charge?
i. Mr. Jake Laehn is unaware of the answer for Buffalo County.
2027 TAD Grant Funding Approval ~ Ms. Tanisha Bautch
a) N eed approval from the CJCC Committee regarding applying for the 2027 TAD grant
funding.
a. Ms. Mary C a mpbell-Wood accepted the motion to approve the 2027 TAD grant
funding, seconded by Mr. Phil Wicktor . Motion carried.
