Allen County Public Health is changing their childhood immunization process so they can bill private insurance for vaccines. Effective on January 1, 2014, if a child has any form of health insurance, they are no longer eligible for state-funded vaccines. In the past, health departments could use vaccine provided by the state for clients with private insurance if their insurance had high deductibles or co-payments or did not cover vaccinations.

Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce played an important role in the community during 2013. Here is a list of projects where the chamber participated.
This list also includes plans for 2014 and discussion points for the future.
A brown bag roundtable discussion on "how can we improve Bluffton" will follow up on several of these points. The discussion is from noon to 1 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 5, in the third floor of the town hall. It is open to the public.
Transport For Christ Second Chance Chapel meal and concert with the southern gospel singing group 'The Piefers' takes place at 6:30 p.m., Friday, Feb 21, at Marbeck Center Bluffton University.
Meals are already paid for, but you must reserve your place by calling Chaplain David Lugibihl at 419-230-3294.
Make your reservation soon as there are only 400 places available and they went very quickly last year.
Nearly 60 members of the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce focused on the question "How can we improve Bluffton?" The brainstorming session was Jan. 17 in the town hall. Results of that discussion and some new programs the chamber will launch will be posted on the Icon on Tuesday.
