Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve an award of $2,800 from the Legacy Foundation of Southern Arizona to the Cochise Health & Social Services to provide food for 150 participants of the Healthy Communities Summit on September 29, 2016.
Background:
Cochise Health & Social Services will be conducting its second Community Health Assessment and Community Health Improvement Plan. (The first CHA and CHIP were conducted in 2012). We need the participation of communities throughout the County to achieve a comprehensive assessment. To this end we are using AZDHS carry-forward funding, from the Tobacco & Chronic Disease FY 2015-2016 grant, to hold a “summit” or conference designed to gain support for community participation in the Community Health Assessment and to encourage participation in convening healthy community committees county-wide, which will carry out the goals and objectives of the Community Health Improvement Plan.
Food is an important aspect of any conference, as we are asking community professionals and residents to give up a whole day of their time to support our effort.

Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
