Scott Dean, MPH
Active Living Coordinator
Scott has dedicated the past 5 years to improving the health and well-being of Cincinnatians as the Active Living Coordinator for the Cincinnati Health Department. His focus lies in identifying and removing barriers that prevent residents from engaging in regular physical activity.
Scott holds a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology from Ohio University and a Master's in Public Health from the University of Cincinnati. After gaining valuable experience in various hospital systems, he recognized the profound impact of proactive community health initiatives. This realization fueled his desire to work directly with individuals and empower them to prioritize their health before the need for medical intervention arises.
Scott is actively collaborating with the Carthage community to enhance walkability through various pedestrian infrastructure projects - including crosswalk striping, street murals, and wayfinding signage. Additionally, he has partnered with Roll Hill School to create a traffic garden, promoting safer and more engaging spaces for students. In the coming months, he will finalize a policy, systems, and environment (PSE) assessment in North Fairmount to further support community well-being.
Driven by a deep passion for his city, Scott strives to give back to Cincinnati and enhance the lives of its residents. His future aspirations include actively contributing to the completion of the Cincinnati Riding or Walking Network (C.R.O.W.N.) and advocating for a safer and more pedestrian- and cyclist-friendly transportation infrastructure for all.
