State of Iowa HIV and AIDS Surveillance Report, December 2004

After taking a dip in 2003, HIV diagnoses were back up in 2004. There were 103 persons diagnosed in 2004, very close to our ten-year average of 100 cases per year. In 2003, there were 91 diagnoses. The increase in 2004 was limited to one demographic group: white, U.S.-born males. Most of these were men who have sex with men, but there were also small increases among injection-drug-using men and those without a known risk. Their median age was 41, slightly older than the overall median age of 38 years. Eighty percent were residents of the 10 most populous counties in Iowa, particularly the counties of Polk, Pottawattamie, Johnson, Linn, Scott, Story, and Woodbury.

State of Iowa HIV and AIDS Surveillance Report, December 2003

There were 33 new diagnoses of HIV infection reported in Iowa in the 4th quarter. Keeping in mind that more diagnoses will yet be reported for 2003, we have so far received reports of 79 Iowans who were newly diagnosed with HIV infection in 2003. Reports on persons diagnosed in the last quarter of the year will continue to trickle in through the end of March, but we’ll definitely be substantially below the 104 diagnoses we saw in 2002.

Department of Human Services Proposal for State Mental Health Institute Closure and Consolidation, December 15, 2009

The Department’s recommendation for closure and consolidation is based on an analysis of the existing programs, persons served, physical plant costs, expenses and renovation/infrastructure costs for relocation, and review of the draft report from the MHI Task Force. Further detail surrounding the analysis used to drive the recommendation is found under the Recommendations section, beginning on page 12 of this report. In response to the legislative requirement to recommend closure and consolidation of an MHI, the Department recommends the closure of the Mount Pleasant Mental Health Institute with consolidation of its programs and operational beds at the Independence Mental Health Institute. With this recommendation, Independence MHI will add beds to accommodate the 15 adult psychiatric beds, 14 dual diagnosis beds, and 50 substance abuse treatment beds now located at the Mount Pleasant MHI. This relocation will take an estimated six months from the time statutory authority and corresponding appropriations are received.
