Health & Welfare Alerts

Keeping you informed

The purpose of Health & Welfare Alerts is to provide critical information to caregivers in areas in which the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD) has identified a risk to individuals’ health and welfare.

These alerts provide data, additional resources and guidance on what can be done to avoid or minimize risk. The purpose of Ohio’s Health and Safety system is to mitigate incidents, provide timely care when needed and offer appropriate reporting.
