What's on this agenda

Orange County's board of health had three action items on March 25. One was a resolution urging the state to speed up its evaluation of newborn screening for metachromatic leukodystrophy and Duchenne muscular dystrophy, two rare conditions where early detection changes what treatment can do. The others were an update to the county's well rules and a revision of the board's own operating procedures.

The health director also briefed the board on accreditation, and a program director gave an update on the campus community coalition.
