Webinar: Making Programs Stronger & More Sustainable: The why, what and how for implementing a dual emphasis program
May 22nd, 2-3pm EDT
Recent reductions in state and federal funding for chronic disease prevention have increased the need for partnerships to make achievement of program objectives possible. The Health Promotion Council developed a programmatic integration strategy targeting community based organizations working in tobacco control and chronic disease using a collaborative approach to capacity building. Through its statewide initiatives “BE-A-BRIDGE” and “PA cAARds!”, HPC has worked organizations to better integrate chronic disease and tobacco control programs. These initiatives created a vehicle for interdisciplinary communication, strategy development and collective solution building by hosting regional summits and workshops across the commonwealth and in doing so, created statewide infrastructure opening lines of communication between local and state government for the development of tools and resources.
