Lorain County's five-year average infant morality rate in 2018 was eight deaths per 1,000 live births. In 2011, it was more than twice that. “21.7 [per 1,000 live births] was our five-year rolling average, which is a pretty high rate," said the county's health commissioner Dave Covell. "Our average rate among white babies was 7.2, so you can see there's a huge discrepancy.”

Lorain County has released its Community Health Improvement Plan, which outlines health issues it will focus on over the next three years. The top priorities include chronic disease, maternal and child health, mental health, substance abuse and cancer. Lorain County Public Health Commissioner Dave Covell said the county will have a strong focus on children's health, especially kids age one to five.
